Introduction:Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) refers to a group of rare reticuloendothelial system disorders and it occurs most often in young adults and children. A 57-year-old edentulous female patient who complained of dull pain in the posterior region of the mandible referred to the dental office, with a complaint of dull pain in the posterior region of the mandible. The lesion was diagn...

langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) is a rare neoplasm defined as the proliferation of bone marrow langerhans cells, which is a kind of dendritic cells. the major pathological features of lch are expression of cd1a and s100 as well as birbeck granules. its presentation can differ from a mild bone lesion to a multi-systemic evolved malignant neoplasm; however, the latter outcome is almost rare. ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an infrequent disorder complex. It is a disease of myeloid dendritic cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages mixed with eosinophils and neutrophils [1]. The accumulation of these cells causes the classic lytic bone lesions, skin rashes, lymphadenopathy, and organ dysfunction. Langerhaus cell histocytosis occurs at all ages from infancy up to senility with the ...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is related diseases characterized by proliferation of Langerhans cell with involvement of bone, skin, lung and other organs. LCH usually occurs in childhood and are presented as multiple small papules or eczematoid lesion mostly. We report a 50-year-old man with 3 brown lichenoid patches on left dorsal foot. He was diagnosed pulmonary LCH 5 years ago. Typical...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder with numerous clinicopathological variants with differing clinical courses, treatment methods, and prognoses. We report one patient with atypical LCH of the bilateral lower eyelids and subsequent successful treatment with local radiation therapy.

The functional activity of skin cells derived from an infant who died of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) was examined. Involved and non-involved skin was obtained at postmortem examination within three hours of death; normal epidermal Langerhans cells and 'LCH cells' were separated by means of dispase digestion. The functional activity of different populations of CD1a positive c...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplastic lesion characterized by accumulation of cells having major phenotypic features of skin Langerhans cells. It usually affects young children but rare cases were also reported in adults. The clinical spectrum of LCH includes Letterer–Siwe disease, Hand–Schüller–Christian disease, eosinophilic granuloma, Langerhans cell sarcoma as well as int...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare myeloid neoplastic disorder typically seen in children and characterized by infiltrative bone lesions. The skin, the lungs, liver, central nervous system may also be involved. even more unusual adults presents diagnostic challenge, given that its imaging characteristics are similar to those of other, prevalent processes. We report case LCH 28-year-o...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), formerly known as histiocytosis-X, manifests by granulomatous lesions consisting of mixed histiocytic and eosinophilic cells. The hallmark of LCH invasion into the CNS is diabetes insipidus, reflecting local infiltration of Langerhans cells into the posterior pituitary or hypothalumus. In five patients who had early onset LCH with no evidence of direct invas...
