Abstract

Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis is a variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It is present at birth or appears in the neonatal period and involutes spontaneously within 3 to 4 months. Although the skin eruptions in most cases consist of papulonodules, several patients with vesicular or bullous lesions have been reported. We describe a case of congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis presenting hemorrhagic bullae that mimicked hemangioma.
