    Abstract Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic disease that affects multiple systems in the body. While it typically targets long bones, cardiovascular structures, the retroperitoneum, and the central nervous system, reports of tendon and skeletal muscle involvement are scarce. This review presents 2 cases: a case of ECD involving the left Achilles tendon and left abductor hallucis, as well as an unusual manifestation of ECD in the thigh musculature. In Case 1, studies involved a 39-year-old man who initially presented with bone and pituitary involvement. An order for

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the distribution of skeletal involvement in Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) by using radiography, computed tomography (CT),
    Material and methods: Prospective study of 50 consecutive patients with biopsy-confirmed ECD who had radiographs, CT,
    Results: All 50 cases revealed skeletal involvement at different regions of the skeleton. The BRAF
    Conclusion: This study reports the distribution of skeletal involvement in a cohort of patients with ECD. CT is able to detect the majority of ECD skeletal involvement. Considering the complementary nature of information from different modalities, imaging of ECD skeletal involvement is optimized by using a multi-modality strategy.

    Abstract Adult-onset histiocytoses (AOH), primarily Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD), and adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis (ALCH), are a group of related histiocytic neoplastic disorders featuring multisystemic manifestations. The disorders are largely incurable, and are essentially chronic neoplastic diseases with a variable prognosis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent debilitating and even life-threatening complications. Survivorship issues abound in AOH, due to their multisystemic manifestations and the sometimes recalcitrant chronic inflammation, which can lead to other debilitating complications such as fatigue, weakness, and pain. Because these disorders are rare, few healthcare professionals are proficient in their management; therefore the aim of these guidelines is to offer guidance on how to manage patients, and how to create survivorship care plans through the efforts of an interdisciplinary team.

    Abstract Purpose: We examined abnormal pituitary imaging (API) and associated endocrine dysfunction in subjects with ECD.
    Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive examination of a natural history cohort study diagnosed with ECD was conducted at a clinical research center. Subjects underwent baseline endocrine tests of anterior and posterior pituitary function and dedicated pituitary gland MRI scans. We determined the frequency of various pituitary imaging abnormalities in ECD and assessed its relationships with age, sex, body mass index (BMI),
    Results: Our cohort included 61 subjects with ECD [age (SD): 54.3 (10.9) y, 46 males/15 females]. API was present in 47.5% (29/61) of ECD subjects. Loss of the posterior pituitary bright spot (36.1%) followed by thickened pituitary stalk (24.6%), abnormal enhancement (18.0%), and pituitary atrophy (14.8%) were the most common abnormalities. DI and panhypopituitarism were more frequent in subjects with API without differences in age, sex distribution, hsCRP, ESR, and
    Conclusions: We noted a high burden of API and endocrinopathies in ECD. API was highly associated with the presence of panhypopituitarism and DI. Therefore, a thorough assessment of hypothalamic-pituitary integrity should be considered in subjects with ECD.

    Abstract Objective: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is rare histiocytosis with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Somatic mutations are key to the pathogenesis of the disease; however, the relationship between germline genetic variants and ECD has not been examined so far. The present study aims to explore the inherited genetic component of ECD by performing the first genome-wide association study.
    Methods: After quality controls, a cohort of 255 patients with ECD and 7,471 healthy donors was included in this study. Afterward, a logistic regression followed by in silico functional annotation was performed.
    Results: A signal at the 18q12.3 genomic region was identified as a new susceptibility locus for ECD (P = 2.75 × 10
    Conclusion: Overall, this work demonstrates that germline genetic variants can impact on the development of ECD and suggests new pathways with a potential pathogenic role.

    Abstract Objective: To characterize the spectrum of neurologic involvement in Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD), a treatable inflammatory neoplasm of histiocytes.
    Methods: Sixty-two patients with ECD were prospectively enrolled in a natural history study that facilitated collection of clinical, imaging, laboratory, neurophysiologic, and pathologic data.
    Results: Ninety-four percent of the patients had neurologic abnormalities on examination or imaging, and 22% had neurologic symptoms as the initial presentation of ECD. The most common neurologic findings were cognitive impairment, peripheral neuropathy, pyramidal tract signs, cranial nerve involvement, and cerebellar ataxia. Imaging revealed atrophy and demyelination along with focal lesions that were located throughout the nervous system, dura, and extra-axial structures. The BRAF V600E variant correlated with cerebral atrophy. Brain pathology revealed lipid-laden, phagocytic macrophages (histiocytes) accompanied by demyelination and axonal degeneration.
    Interpretation: In patients with ECD, neurologic morbidity is common and contributes significantly to disability. Since neurologic symptoms can be the presenting feature of ECD and, given the mean delay in ECD diagnosis is 4.2 years, it is critical that neurologists consider of ECD and other histiocytosis in patients with inflammatory, infectious, or neoplastic-appearing white matter. Furthermore, given the broad spectrum of neurologic involvement, neurologists have an important role in a team of specialists treating ECD patients.

    Abstract Purpose: Reports have questioned the dogma of exclusive maternal transmission of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), including the recent report of an admixture of two mtDNA haplogroups in individuals from three multigeneration families. This was interpreted as being consistent with biparental transmission of mtDNA in an autosomal dominant-like mode. The authenticity and frequency of these findings are debated.
    Methods: We retrospectively analyzed individuals with two mtDNA haplogroups from 2017 to 2019 and selected four families for further study.
    Results: We identified this phenomenon in 104/27,388 (approximately 1/263) unrelated individuals. Further study revealed (1) a male with two mitochondrial haplogroups transmits only one haplogroup to some of his offspring, consistent with nuclear transmission; (2) the heteroplasmy level of paternally transmitted variants is highest in blood, lower in buccal, and absent in muscle or urine of the same individual, indicating it is inversely correlated with mtDNA content; and (3) paternally transmitted apparent large-scale mtDNA deletions/duplications are not associated with a disease phenotype.
    Conclusion: These findings strongly suggest that the observed mitochondrial haplogroup of paternal origin resulted from coamplification of rare, concatenated nuclear mtDNA segments with genuine mtDNA during testing. Evaluation of additional specimen types can help clarify the clinical significance of the observed results.
