Histiocytosis X of the cauda equina

From the Departments of Neuropathology and Neurosurgery, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, England.

Laminectomy, performed on a 46-year-old woman because of weakness and paresthesias of the lower limbs, showed multiple discrete yellow nodules on the nerve roots of the cauda equina. One of these lesions was excised and proved to be a granuloma consistent with the diagnosis of histiocytosis X.

Mr. Ganz's address is Department of Neurosurgery, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, England.

Received for publication June 16, 1975.
