Incidental Diagnosis of Oligosymptomatic Bilateral Perirenal Erdheim–Chester Disease during Emergency Investigation for COVID-19 Infection
Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD), a rare form of non-Langerhans histiocytosis, is a multisystem disorder. The case reported here refers to a 49-year-old man presenting at the emergency room with respiratory symptoms. While undergoing diagnostic tests for COVID-19 infection, tomography revealed asymptom...

| description | Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD), a rare form of non-Langerhans histiocytosis, is a multisystem disorder. The case reported here refers to a 49-year-old man presenting at the emergency room with respiratory symptoms. While undergoing diagnostic tests for COVID-19 infection, tomography revealed asymptomatic bilateral perirenal tumors, while renal function remained unaltered. ECD was suggested as an incidental diagnosis and confirmed by core needle biopsy. This report provides a brief description of the clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings in this case of ECD. This diagnosis, albeit rare, should be taken into consideration in the context of incidental findings of abdominal tumors to ensure that treatment, when required, is instituted early. |
