Disease relevance of Histiocytosis, Non-Langerhans-Cell

Xanthoma disseminatum is a rare non-Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, characterized by papular cutaneous eruption, possible mucosal involvement, and frequent association with vasopressin-sensitive diabetes insipidus [1].
To better define the roles of S-100 protein immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy in the diagnosis of Langerhans cell proliferative disorders, a comparative assessment of the two techniques was performed using material from 39 cases of histiocytosis X and 2 cases of infantile self-healing reticulohistiocytoma [2].

High impact information on Histiocytosis, Non-Langerhans-Cell

These include DIC, 'engraftment syndrome,' infection-associated hemophagocytic syndrome and familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis [3].
The clinical, histopathological, and immunophenotypic characteristics of four cases of malignancy-associated multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MMR) and one case each of diffuse cutaneous reticulohistiocytosis (DCR) and isolated reticulohistiocytoma (IR), are reviewed [4].
Multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis [5].

Biological context of Histiocytosis, Non-Langerhans-Cell

The possibilities of multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with positive rheumatoid serology or coexistence of multiple cutaneous reticulohistiocytomas and rheumatoid arthritis are discussed [5].
