Resumen_ingles
Introduction: Congenital self-healing histiocytosis/reticulohistiocytosis (CSHH) is an infrequent variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis present congenitally or neonatally. Etiology is unknown. The presentation is usually multiple, however in 25% of the cases the appearance would be solitary.Case report: We present the case of a neonate with a lesion located in the abdomen, characterized by a 1 cm ulcer, covered by a yellow-brown fibrinoid scab with a well-defined, erythematous and raised border. The patient was in excellent general condition, without other lesions, or the presence of lymphadenopathy or visceromegaly. Studies were indicated to rule out infectious pathology and a skin biopsy was performed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical study confirmed the diagnosis of CSHH.Results: Extracutaneous lesions were ruled out. The lesion involuted without requiring treatment resolving satisfactorily in 3 months, without extracutaneous commitment to date.
