Histiocytosis X (Langerhan’s cell granulomatosis) is a disease of unknown aetiology, but viral origin has been implicated.1 It is a clinicopathologic entitycharacterized by proliferation of Langerhan’s cell (which are not primarily phagocytic) in an appropriate milieu ...

Histiocytosis X is characterized by a proliferation of cytologically benign histiocytes and occurs in a severe form (type 1) with a short course and poor prognosis and a milder form (type 2) with a protracted course and favorable prognosis. Otolaryngologists will encounter the type 2 form of the disease and must include it in the differential diagnosis

Histiocytosis X may be isolated or generalized in its clinical involvement. Spontaneous resolution may occur, although progression to diffuse systemic disease has also been found. The disease is believed to originate from the mononuclear phagocytic series of cells, although the reason for this activation remains unknown. A possible local reaction to an

Human Pathology, 1983
To clarify salient issues pertaining to histiocytosis X--a syndrome that includes Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schuller-Christian disease, and eosinophilic granuloma--the authors review the epidemiologic data and the histologic, morphologic, and clinical bases for diagnosis and prognosis. Histiocytes are defined and their possible histogenesis outlined,

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1971
1. The clinical, histological and radiological findings in 129 cases of histiocytosis X have been reviewed and the natural history of the disease is discussed. 2. Certain clinical and histological factors emerge as having prognostic significance. 3. The treatment in thirty-four personally reviewed cases is discussed and some suggestions are made as ...

Histiocytosis X: VIII. Histiocytosis X Simulating Tuberculosis
Acta Radiologica: Oncology, 1983The findings in 9 patients with histiocytosis X localized to the spine and 7 patients with tuberculous spondylitis were compared. It was not always possible to differentiate between these two conditions without a supplementary fine needle aspiration biopsy.

Histiocytosis X of the hypothalamus
Neurosurgery, 1989Abstract An 18-year-old woman presented with visual disturbance and endocrine dysfunction (diabetes insipidus, delayed puberty, hypothyroidism, hypoadrenalism, and hyperprolactinemia). Computed tomography and enhanced cisternography showed a single hypothalamic mass, which proved at biopsy to be histiocytosis X.

Histiocytosis x of the hypothalamus
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 1991An unusual case of cutaneous and hypothalamic histiocytosis X (HX) is reported. The hypothalamic involvement occurred as a tumor that mimicked a chiasm glioma on computed tomography angioscanning. Magnetic resonance imaging after gadolinium injection localized the tumor within the third ventricle floor.

(1) Histiocytosis-X can manifest itself in virtually every organ, but in gynecology it is an absolute curiosity. (2) Differential diagnosis must exclude specific and nonspecific ulcerations and granulations such as syphilis, tuberculosis, Boeck's disease, and also neoplastic processes like lymphomas, sarcomas, carcinomas, and malignant diseases of the ...

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1995
Histiocytosis X, a clinically heterogeneous infiltrating disorder, is rarely associated with pregnancy. Diabetes insipidus is a common manifestation of histiocytosis X.A 27-year-old pregnant woman was diagnosed with histiocytosis X by biopsy. At 31 weeks' gestation, she developed diabetes insipidus and required treatment with intranasal 8-D-arginine ...
