Successful treatment of multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma in an adult male patient with potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser in combination with intralesional corticosteroids

Abstract

Multinucleate cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a rare, benign, idiopathic disease characterized by strong female predominance and predilection for the extremities and face.1 Most often asymptomatic, MCAH follows an indolent, yet progressive course, with spontaneous remission being uncommon. Many aspects of this vascular and fibrohistiocytic proliferation are controversial, including pathogenesis and treatment recommendations. We present a case of MCAH in a male patient successfully treated with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser.
