Systemic histiocytosis is a rare disease that is found within malignant histiocytoses, these are derived from cells of myeloid origin that are characterized by the accumulation of macrophages, dendritic cells or cells derived from monocytes in multiple systems, tissues and organs. It is currently considered a neoplasm with inflammatory characteristics. Its etiologies are multiple, and all organs can be affected with innumerable clinical manifestations and presentations. In this review we present 2 clinical cases in adult patients with rare systemic histiocytosis located in the nervous system, who were treated with radiotherapy.
