Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with a broad spectrum of organ manifestations, presenting with characteristic radiological and histological findings. Soft tissue manifestations (xanthogranulomas) have been reported to be most commonly found in the region of the orbits. We report bilateral Achilles tendon xanthogramlomas in a 36-year-old male with biopsy-proven and B-RAF V600E-positive ECD. Although rare, ECD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intratendinous masses.     «
