Abstract
We describe a patient with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MR), who pre sented with 2 different clinical types of lesions. Some were characteristic for MR in that they were deeply set, small, firm papules. Many others were larger, soft, and even sessile, like neurofibromas. Histopathologic featur es of both types of lesions revealed MR. To our knowledge, this is the firs t report of lesions of MR mimicking neurofibromas.
