Membrane activity in histiocytic diseases of the skin.

Study of the histiocytes from a large variety of skin diseases demonstrates a close relationship between the cell processes peculiar to those cells and their degree of phagocytic activity. The membrane structures, as well as the dense bodies localized in the peripheral cytoplasm, suggest a type of endocytosis distinct from pinocytosis and phagocytosis.

[Plasmacytic reticulosis].

The authors observed one case of plasmocytic reticulosis which was noticable by its strictly left unilateral localisation, involving the face, the underscapular region, the shoulder and the elbow, the leg with an important augmentation of the left foot. Histologically, dense plasmocytic infiltration can be observed without anomalies. Electron microscopy confirmes the presence of plasmocytes at any stage of activity without monstruosities. This observation can not be classified in the forms that are actually described: Klüken's and Simonis' plasmocytic reticulosis, plasmocytomas with osseous and medullar lesions, extramedullar plasmocytoma.

[Reticulohistiocytosis of benign evolution (Hashimoto-Pritzker type). Electron microscopy study].

We describe a rare form of histiocytosis, characterized by numerous tumoral lesions of the skin appearing at birth and desappearing spontaneously within 2 month without visceral lesions and without systemic symptoms. Light microscopy shows histiocytes, some of which contain an irregular nucleus with a spumous cytoplasm surrounded by many red blood cells. Electron microscopy shows myelinoid inclusions in the histiocyte cytoplasm and "vermiform" bodies. In our opinion, a similar anatomoclinical entity was described for the first time and only once by Hashimoto and Pritzker.
