Abstract:
An 8 months old girl presented with biopsy-proven, disseminated histiocytosis X affecting at least two organ systems. Within one year there was spontaneous regression of the disease lasting for 10 years until today. Considering this case and others from literature the necessity of aggressive chemotherapy in selected cases is discussed.
