Fig. 1. The histopathologic findings and images of the patient. (A) Immunohistochemistry stain showing an excisional biopsy specimen from the pericardium that was focally positive for CD68 histiocytes (10×40) and (B) focally negative for immunohistochemical stain for CD1a histiocytes (10×40). C: Patchy sclerosis in the distal femur (arrowhead). D: Subcutaneous edema in both legs (arrow). E: A radiolucent band between the metaphysis and epiphysis. F: Meningeal thickening along both optic nerves in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI (arrowheads). G: Diffuse thickening of both cerebellar tentoria with strong enhancement. H: Thin subdural hemorrhage in the right posterior aspect of the interhemispheric fissure adjacent to the occipital lobe in brain CT. I: CT performed 1 week later reveals that the hemorrhage was resolving. J: Diffusion-weighted MRI showing acute infarctions in the left cerebellar hemisphere and left parietal lobe.
