Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 63-year old man had a history of diabetes insipidus, arthralgias and myalgias, weight loss, relapsing fever and malaise. Increased uptake of Tc-99m was found predominantly in distal antebrachia, in distal femurs and in both trochanters and tibias on the bone scintigraphy. The chest radiograph showed reticulonodular pattern and the high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans revealed diffuse infiltrative lung disease with small multiple nodules and widening of interlobular septs. Videothoracoscopic lung biopsy and biopsy of tibial lesion were perfomed. The histopathologic examination proved non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis-Erdheim-Chester disease. Treatment with prednisone reduced the pain and fever and improved the vital capacity of the lungs while the changes in the lungs and bones remained unchanged. |
