Abstract

The case of generalized eruptive histiocytoma (GEH) in woman of 49 years old is reported. GEH is a rare disease relating to non-langerhans cell histiocytoses which are based on a benign reactive proliferation of histiocytes with immunophenotype inconsistent with Langerhans cells. As a result of treatment with methotrexate and betamethasone the improvement in skin condition was achieved.
