PURPOSE To describe the MR findings in the hypothalamic pituitary area in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis and to define those MR alterations especially associated with the risk of developing diabetes insipidus. METHODS The hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal axis was studied by sagittal and coronal 1.5 T1-weighted MR imaging in 14 children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (five with d...

This article discusses the potential of droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for diagnostic detection and monitoring allelic load BRAF V600E mutation in circulating cell-free DNA myeloid progenitor cell population bone marrow patients with Langerhans histiocytosis (LCH). Droplet PCR may serve as a useful tool minimal residual disease improve our understanding pathogenesis cells histi...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis is an uncommon interstitial lung disease in adults. It has an unpredictable course and may be associated with an increased susceptibility to the development of malignant neoplasms. METHODS We reviewed the records of 102 adults with histopathologically confirmed pulmonary Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis to ascertain their vital status and whet...

INTRODUCTION We report the case of a 24-year-old Greek woman with histologically proven osseous and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis whose lesions had progressively regressed with a "switch on and off" mode. This is the first report in the literature of this mode of presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. CASE PRESENTATION The patient had first presented at the age of 20 years w...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disease within the adult population, with very few cases reported as solitary hypophyseal lesions in adults. Of the reported cases, most have been treated successfully with surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. Radiotherapy has been thought to be curative at the relatively low dose of 20Gy. Here we report a case of recurre...

INTRODUCTION Congenital Langerhans cell histiocytosis is usually limited to cutaneous lesions and has a good prognosis. In rare cases of gut involvement, mortality is high and early and aggressive treatment essential. MATERIALS AND METHODS We report a case of histiocytosis in a newborn with bowel involvement, and performed a literature review of 13 similar cases worldwide documented between 1...

The current concepts of disease pathogenesis, principles its severity evaluation, patients stratification into risk groups, as well clinical features are described. Modern approaches to the treatment via targeted therapy summarized analyzed.

Chronic cough and chest pain should be dealt seriously in a young adult. Sometimes we may miss a diagnosis in such patients. We present a case of Pulmonary Langerhans Histiocytosis who presented with complaints of cough and chest pain
