[Congenital self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis].

A male infant, born at term after an uncomplicated pregnancy, presented with multiple red-brown papules and nodules spread over his body. The infant's general condition was not affected and there was no systemic involvement. After only 6 weeks the lesions had healed completely without recurrence. Based on histological and immunohistochemical findings, the clinical appearance and the self-healing course, the diagnosis of congenital self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis was established.
