ALK-rearranged histiocytosis: Report of two cases with involvement of the central nervous system.

In ALK-histiocytoses, CNS involvement may occur as part of a systemic disease or, rarely, as its only primary disease localization, which could remain otherwise asymptomatic. The diagnosis often relies on neuropathological examination of brain biopsy, which may pose a diagnostic challenge due to the variable histopathological features. An integrated histological and molecular approach in such cases is recommended.
