  • Title: [Erdheim-Chester disease. Apropos of a case with autopsy findings].
    Author: Ranty ML, Le Pessot F, Billerey C, Dominique S, Métayer J.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 2001 Dec; 21(6):529-33. PubMed ID: 11910940.
    Abstract:
    Erdheim-Chester's Disease is a very uncommon variety of non-Langerhans histiocytosis of unknown etiology, which characteristically affects long bones bilaterally and symmetrically in adults. It may be accompanied by visceral foci of variable localization and extension determining prognosis. Bone scintigraphy is characteristic enough to evoke the disease but histologic examination of a peripheral specimen is required to confirm the diagnosis: spumous histiocytes CD68+, PS100+/-, CD1a-. We describe a case revealed by a severe lung disease with detailed autopsy.
