Leptomeningeal and orbital benign lymphophagocytic histiocytosis. Case report

J Neurosurg. 1988 Oct;69(4):610-2. doi: 10.3171/jns.1988.69.4.0610.

Abstract

An extremely rare case of isolated histioproliferative lesions arising from the subarachnoid space of the left occipital convexity and the orbit is presented. The presence of histiocytes showing lymphophagocytosis and positivity for S-100 protein staining confirmed that the lesions represented extranodal forms of sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy.
