Q

What is the major differentiating factor between the two reactive histiocytoses?

A

cutaneous histiocytosis - Limited to skin and SQ;
systemic histiocytosis - dermal, SQ, LN, BM, spleen, liver, lung, MM can be involved (nasal/ocular)

Q

How do outcomes for the two reactive histiocytoses vary?

A

Cutaneous - responds to immunosuppressive therapy (steroids)

Systemic - often prolonged but refractory to tx, most dogs euthanized due to relapse or failure to respond
