Journal Article (Journal Article)

Histiocytosis X is a disorder of histiocytes of the Langerhans' cell lineage. As the initial feature is often cutaneous, recognition of these skin changes is important. Several cutaneous manifestations have been described, most commonly, seborrheic dermatitis with a hemorrhagic component. We saw two patients with histiocytosis X with cutaneous manifestations resembling cherry angiomas.
