THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1998
Little progress has been made in finding the causes of LCH. Epidemiologic studies are difficult because of the rarity of this disease. Although several associations have been demonstrated in case-control studies, particularly that with thyroid disease, no causal relationships have been documented. Additional case-control studies may uncover the to-date

Langerhans' cells histiocytosis.

International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology, 1999
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder of unknown cause, characterized by the proliferation of histiocytic cells in various tissues and organs. The role of the otolaryngologist is important in the early and accurate evaluation, staging and diagnosis of LCH, because it may mimic more common diseases such as otitis externa and acute ...

Differentiation of Langerhans cells in Langerhans cell histiocytosis

Blood, 2001
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) consists of lesions composed of cells with a dendritic Langerhans cell (LC) phenotype. The clinical course of LCH ranges from spontaneous resolution to a chronic and sometimes lethal disease. We studied 25 patients with various clinical forms of the disease.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis and dermatophytosis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1993
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is regarded as a disorder of histiocytic cell proliferation of the Langerhans type, probably resulting from altered immunoregulation. Cutaneous involvement is frequent and often appears as a scaling papular eruption that resembles seborrheic dermatitis; when limited to the scalp, scaling and erythema may also be ...

Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis in adults

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1997
Three cases of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis with unusual clinical and histopathologic features are described. The first two cases illustrate diagnostic pitfalls that underscore the importance of considering Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in the differential diagnosis of purpuric papular eruptions of the scalp and intertriginous areas, particularly in

LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS OF THE SKIN

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1998
Cutaneous involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) occurs in 50% of cases and may be the presenting feature. It is, therefore, important to recognize the wide spectrum of clinical disease that this disorder may adopt in the skin. Cutaneous involvement is not necessarily a benign feature and many patients progress to multi-system disease ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis with disequilibrium

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2012
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a very rare disease in which granulation tissue forms in various organs and the central nervous system (CNS) due to monoclonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. Some patients develop ataxia, tremor, or neurodegenerative abnormalities (such as personality changes and mental deterioration) several years after the ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the larynx

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2000
A pediatric case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis leading to severe and recurrent subglottic stenosis, ultimately necessitating partial cricotracheal resection, is presented and the literature on this very rare disorder is briefly reviewed.

LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS IN ADULTS

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1998
Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the adult is rare, but it is important to recognize its occurrence, as it must be differentiated from lymphoma, myeloma, and a variety of skin conditions and endocrinopathies. It has been reported in patients up to the ninth decade of life, and occurs equally in men and women.
