Congenital Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare condition with great diversity. A case of congenital skin-only LCH presenting as a "blueberry muffin baby" with a spontaneous regression by the age of 8 months is reported here. New insights into clinical manifestations and prognosis, which is not uniformly positive, are discussed. A thorough examination and a careful follow-up should be provided to these patients. Systemic therapy is warranted in multi-system disease; no consensus on treatment exists in case of LCH isolated to skin. The diagnosis of congenital self-healing LCH should be made only retrospectively.
先天性朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症(LCH)是一种罕见且具有高度异质性的疾病。本文报告了一例仅累及皮肤的先天性LCH病例,该患儿表现为“蓝莓松饼宝宝”,并在8个月大时自发消退。文中讨论了关于临床表现和预后的新见解,其预后并非一概良好。应对这些患者进行全面检查和仔细随访。多系统疾病需要进行全身治疗;对于仅累及皮肤的LCH病例,治疗尚无共识。先天性自愈性LCH的诊断应仅在回顾性时做出。
