What is An appraisal of histiocytosis-X about?
A case of Hand-Schiiller-Christian disease with a nineteen year follow-up is presented, with lesions localized to the skull and mandible. Three separate courses of irradiation therapy produced temporary recalcification of the cranial defects. A skull biopsy obtained nineteen years after onset from a recurrent skull lesion disclosed an eosinophilic granuloma. Electron microscopic examination of this tissue revealed Langerhans cell granules identical to those we had previously described in a fatal case of Letterer-Siwe disease, and as reported in other cases of histiocytosis-X. The findings noted in this case support Lichtenstein's thesis of a probable common etiology for the group of syndromes he has designated as histiocytosis-X, and also add support to Lieberman's findings of relatively benign disease in the reticuloendothehoses classified as eosinophilic granuloma.
