Abstract

Erdheim-Chester disease, or lipid granulomatosis, is a rare disorder characterized by the proliferation of histiocytes in bone and in extraosseous locations. It is thought perhaps to be a lipid storage disease, in which foamy lipid-laden histiocytes accumulate in the bone marrow. Extravasated lipid results in cholesterol granulomas and a fi broinfl ammatory reaction.
