Histiocytosis?

Need to perform IHC. to confirm or rule out melanocytic or vascular neoplasia.

Which IHC marker was applied in these pictures?

The fifth IHC with red counterstaining looks to be picking up the epidermal melanocytes, but is negative in the body of the lesion.  That and the overall silhouette suggest to me that this is not a melanocytic lesion.  The final IHC slide slide shows dermal dendritic cells which could be Langerhans' cells, so LHC is a possibility, although I don't see much sign of the classical reniform cytology or eosinophils.  There are prominent giant cells  with ground glass cytoplasm but I don't see emperipolesis.  Perhaps solitary reticulohistiocytoma should also be considered in the differential diagnosis.

I'd go for a solitary eruptive xanthogranuloma / histiocytoma.

I thought I saw emperipolesis. I’m favouring cutaneous Rosai Dorfmann too.

XANTHOGRANULOMA JUVENILE. Too few plasma cells for RDD.

The final diagnosis was solitary eruptive xanthogranloma. Well done Richard :)
