A case of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis in an 8‐year‐old girl, which is a diagnosis rarely seen in children, is presented. Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis is a disorder of unknown aetiology, predominantly affecting the joints, skin and mucosa. Joint symptoms, but not cutaneous lesions, have improved with treatment with methotrexate.
