Abstract

Histiocytosis which is a proliferative process characterized by an accumulation of dentritic cells in various tissues and organs is a rare disease. It can occur as an isolated lesion or as widespread systemic disease involving virtually any body site. Langerhans cell histiocytosis was diagnosed by light microscopy in a 27-month-old boy and 16-month-old girl with anemia hepatosplenomegaly, exanthema and lesions on the skull and a 9-month-old girl with thymic and cutaneous involvement. Clinical and laboratory findings of the cases are discussed in the light of literature.

Özet

Langerhans hücreli histiositozlar, dentritik hücre sistemine ait hücrelerinin proliferasyonu sonucu ortaya çıkan nadir bir hastalık olup, vücudun herhangi bir yerini tutan izole bir lezyon ya da yaygın sistemik bir hastalık olarak görülebilir. Burada deri biyopsilerinden Langerhans hücreli histiositozis tanısı konulan, klinik tablolarında döküntü, hepatosplenomegali ve anemi ile birlikte kafa kemiklerinde litik lezyonları olan 27 aylık erkek çocuk ile on altı aylık kız çocuk ve timus tutulumu olan dokuz aylık kız hastanın klinik ve laboratuar bulguları literatür ışığı altında tartışıldı.
