They range from benign reactive conditions to malignant life threatening diseases like haemophagocytic disorders. Some of the histiocytic disorders can be associated with other malignancies. The present case series is a retrospective analysis of six cases representing various spectrum of histiocytic disorders. </span><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;">It is important to be aware of these benign entities to distinguish it from similar looking malignant lesions to avoid inappropriate management.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:&#10;justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph;line-height:200%;mso-layout-grid-align:&#10;none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;&#10;line-height:200%;font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
