N2 - Distinct solitary dermal nodules, either covered by an alopecic, or sometimes ulcerated, epidermis, were noticed on the head of a stillborn Holstein calf. The head was submitted for autopsy, and the nodules were found to consist of homogeneous, diffuse pale-yellow, soft-tissue masses with distinct margins that elevated the epidermis above the adjacent skin. Histologically, the dermal nodules were well-delineated on the deep margin approaching the cutaneous muscle and consisted of perivascular neoplastic infiltrates of round cells that in some places coalesced into sheets that extended into the dermis and subcutis. Neoplastic cells separated adnexa and collagen. Immunohistochemistry revealed intense tumor cell expression of vimentin, Iba1, E-cadherin, and CD204; expression of CD18 was faint. The masses were diagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Congenital cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis has not been reported previously in cattle, to our knowledge, and should be included in the differential diagnosis of congenital nodular skin lesions.
