Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) as a rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis has various clinical manifestations. It is characterized histologically by infiltration of every organ, more commonly bone, retroperitoneum, cardiovascular and CNS systems with foamy, lipid -laden macrophage. Pancreatic involvement as a manifestation of this uncommon disease has very rarely been reported. Here we report a 73-year-old woman with ECD and pancreas involvement in CT, MRI and PET scans. We also aim to increase radiologist knowledge about considering ECD as a differential diagnosis for pancreas mass in the appropriate clinical situation.
Erdheim-Chester病(ECD)作为一种罕见的非朗格汉斯组织细胞增多症,有多种临床表现。其组织学特征为每个器官均有浸润,更常见于骨骼、腹膜后、心血管和中枢神经系统,伴有泡沫状、富含脂质的巨噬细胞。作为这种罕见疾病的一种表现,胰腺受累的报道极为罕见。在此,我们报告一名73岁女性,其在CT、MRI和PET扫描中显示患有ECD且胰腺受累。我们还旨在提高放射科医生在适当临床情况下将ECD视为胰腺肿块鉴别诊断的认识。
