Multicentric Reticulohistiocytosis: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is a rare multisystem disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by erosive polyarthritis and papulonodular lesions on the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. There is no published data on incidence and prevalence of MRH. As MRH is a rare entity so modem of information is available only in the form of case reports. Although clinically it mimicks rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatric arthritis, its spectrum is aggressive and poses a diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists and dermatologists. Diagnosis is made clinically by the characteristics cutaneous and joint manifestations and is confirmed by typical histopathological appearance of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis on skin biopsies. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment of this rare entity is vital as untreated cases can progress to severe destructive arthritis and disability.
