Özet

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) encompasses the most common group of histiocytic disorders characterized by abnormal function and differentiation or proliferation of mononuclear phagocyte system cells, with a wide variety of clinical pictures and consequences [1]. It is caused by the disorder of myeloid dendritic cells and is thought to be an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm [2]. Histiocytes including Langerhans cells, monocytes/macrophages, dermal/interstitial dendritic cells are large white blood cells. Langerhans cell is normally found in the dermis, reticuloendothelial system, lung, and pleura [3, 4].
