Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), which was previously known as histiocytosis X, refers to a group of lesions that stimulate uncontrolled proliferation of cells. The purpose of this case was to report and describe a LCH case with mandibular bone involvement in a 2.5-year-old boy. Case reports: A 2.5 years old boy with LCH of mandibular jaw who has been treated by surgical inter...

A 39-year-old male was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of headache, dizziness, nausea, otalgia, otorrhea, tinnitus, and hearing loss in both ears for 3 weeks. Physical examination revealed edema in the tympanic membrane and external ear canal, and pain by palpation in the mastoid area bilaterally. There was no nystagmus, and the rest of the physical examination was otherwise normal. Tempor...

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder described as three different entities including eosinophilic granulomaof bone, the Hand-Schuller-Christian syndrome, and Letterer-Siwe disease. LCH is currently classified into singlesystem LCH, and multisystem LCH. Patients with single system LCH have an excellent prognosis, and are mostlytreated with local therapy. Multisystem LCH is subd...

Background and objective: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder of unknown etiology and mainly affects young children. The histological feature is granuloma-like proliferation of langerhans-type dendritic cells. Although the possible role of viruses such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, Human Herpes virus -4</...

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.

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is an interstitial lung disease that results from the accumulation of specific histiocytic cells in the lung. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a recognized feature of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and results from destruction of lung parenchyma with associated cystic changes. We report on a 2-year-old boy with recurrent bilateral spontaneous pneumoth...
