Abstract
The case is reported of a 56-year-old female who over 18 months developed a symmetrical eruption of hundreds of bluish-red papules, a small number of which have spontaneously resolved. The clinical and histopathological findings were compatible with the diagnosis of generalized eruptive histiocytoma. The ultrastructural findings in this case suggest that this condition which is in the non-X group of histiocytic disorders is closely related to histiocytosis X.
