Nosology and pathology of Langerhans cell histiocytosis

L Schmitz et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 1998 Apr.

Abstract

The pathology of LCH is continuing to be defined and diagnostic features clarified as unprecedented research is done. Although the etiology of LCH remains unknown, new information on cytokines, viruses, immunologic dysfunction, cell surface antigen expression, and clonality in the disease are providing essential pieces of the puzzle.
