Langerhans' cell histiocytosis cells are activated langerhans' cells

The Journal of Pathology, 1994
AbstractLangerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by the presence of large mononucleated cells, associated with inflammatory cells. The Langerhans' cell (LC) lineage of the mononucleated cells is suggested by the presence of Birbeck granules and the expression of CD1a.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis and dermatophytosis

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1993
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is regarded as a disorder of histiocytic cell proliferation of the Langerhans type, probably resulting from altered immunoregulation. Cutaneous involvement is frequent and often appears as a scaling papular eruption that resembles seborrheic dermatitis; when limited to the scalp, scaling and erythema may also be ...

LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS OF THE SKIN

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1998
Cutaneous involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) occurs in 50% of cases and may be the presenting feature. It is, therefore, important to recognize the wide spectrum of clinical disease that this disorder may adopt in the skin. Cutaneous involvement is not necessarily a benign feature and many patients progress to multi-system disease ...

Biology of Langerhans Cells and Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

2006
Langerhans cells (LC) are epidermal dendritic cells (DC). They play an important role in the initiation of immune responses through antigen uptake, processing, and presentation to T cells. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease in which accumulation of cells with LC characteristics (LCH cells) occur. LCH lesions are further characterized

Langerhans cell histiocytosis with disequilibrium

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2012
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a very rare disease in which granulation tissue forms in various organs and the central nervous system (CNS) due to monoclonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. Some patients develop ataxia, tremor, or neurodegenerative abnormalities (such as personality changes and mental deterioration) several years after the ...

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis of the Orbit

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Purpose The management of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is controversial. This study evaluated our clinical experience and therapeutic results in orbital Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Methods This is a retrospective, noncomparative ...

Adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis

European Journal of Haematology, 2006
Abstract:  Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a proliferative histiocytic disorder of unknown cause originating from dendritic cells. The clinical presentation of LCH is highly variable. Although the features of this disease have been well described in children, they remain poorly defined in adults. Here, we review the current knowledge about adult

Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis in adults

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1997
Three cases of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis with unusual clinical and histopathologic features are described. The first two cases illustrate diagnostic pitfalls that underscore the importance of considering Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in the differential diagnosis of purpuric papular eruptions of the scalp and intertriginous areas, particularly in

Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the larynx

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2000
A pediatric case of Langerhans cell histiocytosis leading to severe and recurrent subglottic stenosis, ultimately necessitating partial cricotracheal resection, is presented and the literature on this very rare disorder is briefly reviewed.
