Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis [PDF]
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic disorder of unknown etiopathogenesis. Its clinical presentation is variable and ranges from isolated skin or bone disease to a life-threatening multisystem condition. LCH can occur at any age but is more frequent in the pediatric population. A neoplastic origin of this disease has been suggested

Pheochromocytoma With Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A Rare Tumor-in-Tumor Case. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) occurring in a Pheochromocytoma in the adrenal gland is exceptionally rare and prone to misdiagnosis. The special coexistent tumors harbor distinct genetic mutations. This uncommon case could introduce novel considerations and a strong teaching message to all the clinicians and pathologists.

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.

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Signaling pathways, microenvironment, and targeted treatments in Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid malignancy in the “L-group” histiocytosis. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activating mutations are detectable in nearly all LCH lesions. However, the pathogenic roles of MAPK

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of rare disorders histologically characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells. Multiple organs and systems may be involved by the disease. Typically, there is bone involvement and, less frequently, lesions may be found in the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, skin, and mucosa.
