  • Title: Benign cephalic histiocytosis. A case report and ultrastructural study.
    Author: Eisenberg EL, Bronson DM, Barsky S.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1985 Feb; 12(2 Pt 1):328-31. PubMed ID: 3973127.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old Hispanic boy had an asymptomatic eruption of red-brown macules and papules on the face, neck, trunk, and upper extremities. Examination of the skin lesions by light microscopy revealed a diffuse infiltrate of histiocytes in the upper dermis. Examination by electron microscopy showed wormlike inclusion bodies within the histiocytes. A diagnosis of benign cephalic histiocytosis was made on the basis of these distinct clinical, histologic, and ultrastructural features.
