✦ Synopsis

A patient with systemic histiocytosis was treated with hemibody irradiation, vincristine, and prednisone. The patient died of an extensive peripheral neuropathy. An autopsy revealed gross histiocytosis-X involvement of the unirradiated tissues, and no evidence of disease within the field of irradiation. A treatment protocol employing sequential hemibody irradiation is discussed.

Six children received etoposide as the single agent for treatment of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH; histiocytosis X). Five were less than 2 years old at diagnosis. All had multiorgan involvement; one had liver and pulmonary dysfunction. Two infants also had clinical signs of immune deficiency.
