Histiocytosis X [PDF]

Annals of African Medicine, 2009
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 of the Thyroid Gland

Tumori Journal, 1996
Histiocytosis X rarely involves the thyroid gland and occurs as one of the unusual manifestations of systemic diseases. Diagnosis is based on the identification of the Langerhans' cells in an appropriate background. We report a case of histiocytosis X confined to the thyroid gland that represents the primary manifestation of the disease.

Targeted proteomics reveal histiocytosis-associated neurodegeneration signatures. [PDF]

Hemasphere
Abstract Neurodegeneration (ND) is a severe complication of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), yet its underlying biology and reliable biomarkers remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to (1) gain insight into neuroimmunological mechanisms governing ND and (2) assess the clinical value of established and novel biomarkers for ND‐LCH.

The clinicopathological characteristics and differential diagnosis of histiocytosis

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2015
The histiocytosis is divided into Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (histiocytosis X) and non-Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (NLCH). The former mainly occurs in lymphatic hematopoietic tissue and often involves central nervous system (CNS).

Progressive Cerebellar Dysfunction, Pituitary Insufficiency, and Severe Skeletal Fragility in Adult Survivorship of Childhood Multisystem Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Case Report. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Childhood‐onset multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis can lead to delayed adult morbidity involving the neurologic, hypothalamic–pituitary, and skeletal systems. Progressive cerebellar dysfunction, chronic pituitary insufficiency, and severe skeletal fragility may emerge years after apparent disease control, underscoring the need for ...

An Overlap of Erdheim–Chester Disease and Rosai–Dorfman Disease With Isolated Bone Lesions Presenting a Diagnostic Challenge: A Case Report [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Some of the rarest diseases with cell accumulation in different organs are histiocytoses. Since these diagnoses are uncommon, other differential diagnoses must be excluded. We report a case of a 42‐year‐old man with episodes of knee pain and fever.
