Histiocytoses are a group of rare disorders characterized by a proliferation of monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells. We present a case of a 3‐year‐old girl with a diffuse papular eruption without systemic symptoms demonstrating a proliferation of strongly CD1a + histiocytes, but negative for S‐100 and langerin on histopathology. Systemic work‐up including bone marrow biopsy was unremarkable, and the patient received a diagnosis of CD1a + S − 100‐indeterminate cell histiocytosis.
