Erdheim-Chester Disease Masquerading as CLIPPERS.

ECD is a histiocytic neoplasm characterized by multiorgan infiltration of clonal histiocytes carrying activating variants of the MAPK-ERK pathway. Neurologic involvement occurs in up to 40% of ECD with frequent brainstem lesions that can mimic acquired neuroinflammatory disorders, such as CLIPPERS. ECD is an important CLIPPERS mimic with distinct pathophysiology and targeted treatments. We highlight the need to consider histiocytic disorders among other alternate diagnoses when findings are not classic for CLIPPERS.
