Benign Cephalic Histiocytosis: The face of a rare pathology

Abstract

Benign cephalic histiocytosis (BCH) is a rare dermatological disease that primarily affects infants and young children, characterized by the appearance of multiple asymptomatic, flat, erythematous-yellow papules, often in the cephalic region. We present the case of a 1 year and 3 months old male patient with asymptomatic brown papules on the face. Following clinical-pathological correlation, a diagnosis of benign cephalic histiocytosis was established. During follow-up, stability and involution of the lesions were observed.
