Erdheim-Chester disease associated with myeloid neoplasm: Clinical features, molecular landscape, and treatment outcomes. [PDF]
Abstract Erdheim‐Chester disease (ECD) is frequently associated with clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid neoplasms (MN), but clinical phenotype and response to kinase inhibitors (KI) in this setting remain unclear. We analyzed 67 patients with ECD associated with MN (ECD‐MN) from a French national cohort and assessed ECD treatment response, MN progression,

Erdheim–Chester disease mimicking Wilms tumor in a child: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]
Background Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis driven by activating mutations of the MAPK signaling pathway, most commonly BRAF V600E. Pediatric cases are exceedingly rare and often present with atypical, multisystem

Pericardiectomy and Mechanical Mitro-Aortic Valve Replacement in a Young Patient With Erdheim-Chester Disease [PDF]
Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare histiocytosis that primarily affects the skeletal system, but cardiovascular manifestations occur in 75% of cases and are associated with a poor prognosis. Given the small number of cases, the evolution and management of

Dr Lee and his colleagues (April 2005 JRSM1) describe a case of renal failure in which the radiographic appearance of bone pointed to Erdheim–Chester disease, a histiocytosis. Among the organs affected in this condition they mention pericardium. We think it important to emphasize the frequency with which heart, pericardium and great vessels are ...

Multimodality Imaging in a Patient with Erdheim Chester Disease with Cardiovascular Involvement [PDF]
We hereby report a 40-year-old woman presenting with chest pain and recurrent pericardial effusion. Cardiac MRI revealed diffuse sheath-like mass involving predominantly the right heart chambers. She also had bony and perirenal involvement. Additionally,

Erdheim–Chester disease is a rare multisystemic non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting 95% with skeletal lesions. Erdheim–Chester disease is due to mutations in the RAS-MEK-ERK pathway where 50% are due to BRAF-V600E mutations.
