Abstract:

Multinucleated Cell Angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a rare benign fibro-histiocytic and vascular proliferation. It can present in a localized or generalized manner. Localized forms show a predilection for women in the sixth decade of life. Clinically, it is characterized by single, isolated, brown to purple papules and nodules that are asymptomatic, distributed on the face or distal portion of the extremities, with occasional itching. The generalized form is rarer, affecting men and women equally in the fifth decade of life. It presents a centripetal distribution affecting the trunk, neck, and roots of the limbs, and has a tendency for spontaneous resolution. Here, we present a case of this unusual generalized variant.
