One-third of ECD patients have xanthelasma, occurring as yellow eyelid plaques, as in our case.
Other sites of xanthogranulomatous involvement are the face, neck, axilla, trunk, and groin, and may appear as yellow or red-brown papules that merge into plaques. It is impossible to distinguish between xanthogranulomatous lesion of ECD and adult juvenile xanthogranulomatous JXG disease on the basis of skin lesions alone, but unlike ECD, JXG is less commonly a multi-system disease [ 10 ]. The typical diffuse skeletal involvement with symmetric sclerosis of the long bones is a distinct pattern of bone involvement of Erdheim-Chester disease [ 25 ]. Therefore, we evaluated skeletal involvement in our patient.
Plain radiography of both tibias showed mild diffuse osteosclerotic changes. In some patients with ECD, plain films may be not conclusive; therefore, technetiumm bone scintigraphy, which can explore the whole skeleton, is mandatory and very valuable in this situation. The axial skeleton is usually spared in cases of ECD but iliac bone involvement has been reported before [ 18 ], as in our patient. This was confirmed by the bone marrow biopsy taken from iliac bone, which revealed hypocellular marrow with infiltration by fatty cells histocytes.
Thus, bone scintigraphy may be beneficial for early detection of skeletal involvement of ECD [ 26 ] and this role is more important in the case of un-obvious changes in plain radiography, as shown in this patient. Retroperitoneal involvement is described in more than one-third of patients with ECD and is often asymptomatic. This finding, due to the perirenal fat infiltration, appears as an irregular renal border that is emphasized by iodinated contrast and is useful for differential diagnosis with idiopathic or secondary retroperitoneal fibrosis [ 6 ].
Because of the rarity of the condition and the paucity of clinical trials, there is no definite treatment for ECD. Indeed, we have now treated our patient with systemic steroids and azathioprine for 2 months with good stabilization and no recurrence of pleural and pericardial effusion and slight improvement of visual acuity in the left eye. Although the clinical symptoms of our patient seem to be stable, there have been few reports of the efficacy of these regimens [ 27 , 28 ]. Therefore, close long-term follow-up will be required to evaluate the efficacy of these treatments in our patient, and searching for another effective therapy is mandatory.
A promising dual therapy with anakinra, an interleukinreceptor antagonist, and vemurafenib, the BRAF V kinase inhibitor, was associated with a sustained abatement in symptoms for months [ 29 ]. We presented the case of an ECD patient with multi-organ involvement, diagnosed after the passage of more than 6 years from the onset of disease. This report emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion in this diagnosis.

We hope to be able to perform long-term follow-up to accurately evaluate treatment efficacy and prognosis.
