A 6‐month‐old boy had histiocytosis X limited to the skin and oral mucosa. which regressed spontaneously over a period of six months. We review the subsets of autoinvolutive histiocytosis X with special emphasis on the dermatologic manifestations. Childhood self‐healing histiocytosis X is a benign condition that should be differentiated from self‐healing reticulohistiocytosis (Hashimoto‐Pritzker type).
