Abstrakt: A case of adult cutaneous eruptive histiocytoma is reported. The lesions showed self-healing capacity in a 9-year period. Electron microscopic studies revealed comma-shaped bodies and multiple melanosomes in the cytoplasm of some cells. Normolipemic xanthelasma was present, and the patient had polyclonal gammopathy and hypocomplementemia. Resolution of the lesions produced pigmented atrophic macules. Generalized eruptive histiocytoma and benign cephalic histiocytosis could be forms of the same non-X histiocytosis.
