LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS (LCH) is a rare medical condition characterized by an abnormal clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells.
These irregular cells originate in the BONE MARROW and have the unique ability to migrate from the skin to lymph nodes. The SYMPTOMS of LCH can vary greatly from person to person. It can manifest as isolated bone lesions, or, in more serious cases, as MULTISYSTEM DISEASE that can affect multiple organs or tissues.[1]
LCH is considered part of the histiocytoses group, diseases characterized by an abnormal proliferation of histiocytes (activated dendritic cells and macrophages). These types of diseases are intimately related to other forms of abnormal white blood cell proliferation such as LEUKEMIAS AND LYMPHOMAS.[2][3]
Previously, the disease has been called by various names including HISTIOCYTOSIS X, until a more unified nomenclature was established in 1985 by the Histiocyte Society. Knowledge of this disease is essential for early diagnosis and intervention.
