title: Reticulohistiocytosis.
abstract: Reticulohistiocytoses consist of a rare group of diseases caused by CD68+ macrophage proliferation. Several advances have been achieved in relation to the receptors involved in these diseases. This knowledge will clarify the physiopathologic mechanisms of the reticulohistiocytoses and direct better therapeutic approaches for patients.
