SUMMARY.— The problems of treatment of histiocytosis X with x-ray, cortisone, methotrexate, and vinblastine are briefly reviewed. In all 16 patients with focal histiocytosis X of bone, there was a good response to surgery or roentgen therapy. In 2, the lesions healed after surgery for biopsy alone.

Histiocytosis-X of the hypothalamus
The British Journal of Radiology, 1975Hypothalamic masses associated with histiocytosis-X may be mistaken for neoplasms. As a result radiation therapy will often be administered rather than chemotherapy, which appears to be the treatment of choice for histiocytosis-X of the hypothalamus. Particularly in young people, the possibility of granulomatous disease should be entertained and biopsy

Lung, 1985
Pulmonary histiocytosis X is a granulomatous disorder of the lung of unknown cause. Patients with this disease often complain of cough, dyspnea on exertion, and, occasionally, chest pain from a pneumothorax or bone involvement. However, it is not unusual for patients to be asymptomatic with only a diffuse interstitial infiltrate on their chest ...

Pediatric Radiology, 1993
Congenital histiocytosis X involving multiple organs is a rare disease that causes rapid mortality in intrauterine and neonatal life. The diagnosis of histiocytosis X (Letterer-Siwe disease) should be considered in a neonate with vesiculated crusting skin lesions.

An appraisal of histiocytosis‐X
Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1972AbstractA case of Hand‐Schüller‐Christian disease with a nineteen year follow‐up is presented, with lesions localized to the skull and mandible. Three separate courses of irradiation therapy produced temporary recalcification of the cranial defects.

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1979
A case of histiocytosis X of the nose in a 5-year-old Nigerian child has been described. This localization of the lesion with secondary involvement of the submandibular cervical nodes is quite unusual and no similar case has been so far reported in the literature. The difficulties encountered in the diagnosis, the aetiological factors and treatment are

Prostaglandins in Histiocytosis-X: PG Synthesis by Histiocytosis-X Cells
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1981Histiocytosis-X cells were obtained at autopsy from the lungs and lymph nodes of a patient who died of the disseminated infantile form of this disease (Letterer-Siwe disease). The ability of these cells to synthesize and release prostaglandins was investigated in culture, by prelabeling the cell lipids with [14C] arachidonic acid and measuring the ...

The Cytology of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (Histiocytosis X)
Cytopathology, 1991The cytomorphology of 13 cases of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is described. the most striking features were the presence of intranuclear clefts, pale nuclei and inconspicuous nucleoli, together with ample pale cytoplasm, only slight cellular pleomorphism, and an admixture of varying numbers of eosinophils, macrophages and degenerated cells.In 13 of ...

Chemotherapy of Histiocytosis-X
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1987This article discusses the efficacy of various chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of histiocytosis-X. Although these agents alone and in combination have improved the prognoses for children with histiocytosis-X, the need for more effective methods of treatment still exists.

Immunobiology of Histiocytosis-X
Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1987Recent laboratory investigations of patients with histiocytosis-X and their pathologic tissues demonstrate the close immunologic relationship between the Langerhans-like cells of these patients and normal epidermal Langerhans cells of the mononuclear phagocytic system. A deficiency of a peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulation is seen in histiocytosis-
