Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis, also known as Hashimoto-Pritzker disease, is a single system Langerhans cell histiocytosis that typically presents in healthy newborns and spontaneously regresses. In the present report, we described a 2-month-old Thai female newborn with multiple hypopigmented flat-topped papules without any internal organ involvement including normal blood cell c...

BACKGROUND 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 due to the discovery of the mut...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) combines in one nosological category a group of diseases that have widely disparate clinical manifestations but are all characterized by accumulation of proliferating cells with surface markers and ultrastructural features similar to cutaneous Langerhans cells (LCs). In particular, careful molecular analyses of mouse models and human LCH samples suggest that ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease of unknown cause, characterized by the proliferation of pathogenic Langerhans cells and cytokine overproduction causing inflammation, infiltration and destruction of many tissues of the body. LCH is a heterogeneous condition and may present with simple painful bony lesions, often affecting the skull or long bones, chronic otitis, proptosis o...
