Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT: A newborn boy presented with 5 papular, nodular and necrotic lesions located on the upper part of the body. The diameter of the lesions ranged between 1 and 3 cm. Light microscopy showed an infiltrate with foamy and Touton cells. Langerhans' cell histiocytosis was eliminated because none of these cells showed reactivity for S100 protein and CD1a. At the age of 8 years, all the lesions had spontaneously regressed leaving unusual atrophic scars that had the same size as the active lesions. DISCUSSION:
