ABSTRACT
Generalized eruptive histiocytosis is a rare benign disorder, categorized into non-LCH histiocytosis. We present a case of this disease and provide the differential diagnosis with other forms of histiocytosis. Recent literature has suggested that generalized eruptive histiocytosis may be a part of a continuous spectrum of non-LCH histiocytic disorders.
