An unusual case of intertrigo in an adult caused by purely cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis [PDF]
We report a case of persistent intertrigo in an adult, eventually diagnosed as cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). It is known that LCH has a predilection for intertriginous areas, however purely cutaneous disease as in our case, is uncommon ...

Somatic mutations in solid tumors: a spectrum at the service of diagnostic armamentarium or an indecipherable puzzle? The morphological eyes looking for BRAF and somatic molecular detections on cyto-histological samples [PDF]
This review article deals with the analysis and the detection of the morphological features associated with somatic mutations, mostly BRAF(V600E) mutation, on both cytological and histological samples of carcinomas.

Isolated gastrointestinal Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a 16‐month‐old child: A case report
Abstract Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder characterized by clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, most often involving the skin or bone. Isolated gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is extremely uncommon in young children. We report a 16‐month‐old girl with a 1‐month history of chronic vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and failure to ...
