Abstract:
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has been previously thought of as a rare illness, but is now increasingly diagnosed as a result of the more intensive investigations of patients with cystic pulmonary disease. In recent years, treatments developed from our new understanding of the molecular biology of malignant disease have been applied to patients with LCH, and responses seen. In this review, we describe the origins, presentation and modern treatment of LCH, showing that there is new hope for patients with this condition.
