histiocytosis
characterized
by
multi-system
infiltration
by
xanthogranulomas
composed
of
foamy
histiocytes
surrounded
by
fibrosis
.
Approximately
400
cases
have
been
reported
in
the
literature
,
and
the
recent
increase
in

this
review
is
to
describe
the
pathogenesis
,
clinical
manifestations
,
and
diagnosis
of
this
rare

,
and
to
review
its
prognosis
and
treatment
