Abstract

Histiocytic disorders of the skin can be differentiated according to the following criteria:

  1. 1.

    Grade of malignancy: benign vs. malignant

  2. 2.

    Number and localization of the lesions: solitary vs. multiple and localized vs. disseminated.

  3. 3.

    Origin: primary skin involvement vs. secondary skin involvement.

  4. 4.

    Natural course: progressive vs. self-healing.

Recent studies have shown that many of the previously described “histiocytic” disorders are in fact large cells (immunoblastic, lymphoblastic, or centroblastic) lymphocytic malignant tumors [26].
