Vesicular Langerhans cell histiocytosis--an uncommon variant.
A case of the congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is described. The child was born with a widespread blistering eruption, which rapidly resolved leaving papules and erosions. These ultimately healed leaving anetoderma. Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of blistering eruptions present at birth.
