Keywords: langerhans cell histiocytosis, childhood, liver, lung, thymus
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.
