[Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis. A case with unusual clinical, radiologic and ultrastructural aspects].
We are reporting a case of multicentric reticulo-histiocytosis which is exceptional because of its gravity and the diversity of the clinical lesions: huge subcutaneous nodules, bone destruction in the spine responsible for spondylolisthesis, pulmonary fibrosis, acute pericarditis, laryngeal compression requiring a permanent tracheostomy. From ultrastructural observations, various hypotheses to explain the intra-macrophagic accumulation of membrane granules and lipids are discussed.
