Background. Manifestations of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in children range from only a rash, to bony lesions accompanied by pain, to major organ disease. When the central nervous system (CNS) is affected, the LCH patient may exhibit signs and symptoms of hypothalamic and pituitary dysfuncti

Background. Because prostaglandin (PG) E2 has been identified in the bone lesions of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), we speculated that indomethacin, a potent PG inhibitor, may be useful in patients with symptomatic LCH involving the bony skeleton.

Background. Ear involvement (EI) in Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) occurs quite often. We reviewed the Italian pediatric population of 251 children with LCH diagnosed between 1982 and 1995, focusing on EI, to highlight the prevalence, the clinical presentation, the outcome during follow-up, an
