- Abstract
<bold>Objectives: </bold>The present article provides an overview of the spectrum of abdominal findings of histiocytic disorders that may be observed in multimodality imaging illustrated by clinical cases from our Imaging Center.<bold>Methods: </bold>We will review abdominal findings of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman disease, Erdheim-Chester disease, and hemophagocytic syndrome illustrated by clinical cases from our imaging department with histologic correlation.<bold>Results: </bold>Abdominal involvement of histiocytic disorders is rare and may occur in the liver, biliary tract, kidney, retroperitoneum, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and lymph nodes.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Histiocytic disorders encompass a group of rare diseases with a wide range of manifestations in which the abdominal involvement is quite infrequent. The role of the radiologist is to report the major imaging findings and the differential diagnosis; however, the imaging features are unspecific and biopsy usually is necessary to establish the definitive diagnosis.
