title: [Malignant histiocytosis. An anatomic study of 6 cases with atypical clinical manifestations].
abstract: The six cases of malignant histiocytosis reviewed in this article all presented with unusual manifestations (muscular masses, renal failure, dysenteriform syndrome, neurological symptoms, or isolated splenomegaly). With one exception, correct diagnosis was only made post mortem. In addition to the usual hematological localizations, the autopsy revealed unusual topographical features in each case, explaining the atypical clinical manifestations.
