Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Presenting as Multiple Obstructing Bronchial Lesions and Pulmonary Masses. [PDF]
We describe a case of PLCH presenting as multiple obstructing bronchial lesions and pulmonary masses in a 36‐year‐old man. To our knowledge, this is the first report of PLCH presenting as bilateral hilar masses and airway obstructive lesions. ABSTRACT Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare lung disease, which was previously classified as ...

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Associated With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: A Pediatric Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare clonal neoplasm driven by activating mutations in the MAPK pathway, leading to accumulation of pathological Langerhans cells in various tissues. LCH is increasingly associated with secondary malignancies, including leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors. However, chronic myeloid leukemia

Efficacy, safety, and relapse outcomes of MAPK inhibitors in pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A real-world study. [PDF]
What's new? Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors are promising treatments for pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a rare heterogeneous neoplasm that often affects multiple organ systems. Which MAPK inhibitors are most effective against LCH remains uncertain.

Clinicopathological Features, Treatment Response, and Outcome of Rosai‐Dorfman Disease in Two Children [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rosai‐Dorfman disease is a rare non‐Langerhans cell histiocytic disorder. It is common in male children and young adults of African descent. It is classified into sporadic and familial types. The most common clinical presentation is massive bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy associated with constitutional symptoms. Histiocytic emperipolesis is

Histiocytosis development and clinical variation through the lens of genomics
Abstract Histiocytic neoplasms are rare haematologic diseases characterised by clonal expansions of cells with a monocyte, macrophage or dendritic cell phenotype. Their clinical manifestations are diverse, ranging from indolent lesions to aggressive systemic disease.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.
