Een peuter met roodgele bultjes in het gezicht

A three-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic facial papules. Biopsy revealed dermal histiocyte proliferation. Based on clinical and histological findings, benign cephalic histiocytosis — a rare, self-limiting condition of infancy — was diagnosed. Recognition is key due to overlap with more serious histiocytic disorders such as Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
