[Erdheim-Chester disease. Clinico-pathologic study of two cases]
Abstract
Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare visceral xanthogranulomatosis characterized by bilateral, symmetrical sclerosis of the metaphyseal regions of long bones and infiltration of foamy, lipid-laden histiocytes. Clinically, it ranges from an asymptomatic, focal process to a fatal, systemic disease. We report two new cases, different in their presentation and extension.
