Purely cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is an entity that exceptionally appears as a purely cutaneous disease. We described 2 cases of this form with spontaneous involution. Histology showed a polymorphic infiltrate in the dermis and hypodermis composed of large histiocytes with lymphophagocytosis, neutrophils and plasma cells. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrated the positivity of histiocytes for protein S-100 and MAC 387.

[Melanocytic schwannoma. A case report and review of the literature].

INTRODUCTION AND CLINICAL CASE: We report a new unusual case of a patient without known familiar history of melanocytic schwannoma or Carney complex with multiple melanocytic schwannoma in the spinal canal. Histologically, the tumor was composed of irregular interlacing spindle-shaped cells with pigments. The diagnosis is made by immunohistochemical techniques and electron microscopy findings. CONCLUSION: We review the literature, and the different theories on the origin of these tumors are discussed.
