Abstract: (9944 Views)
The term histiocytosis refers to a group of idiopathic clinics entities characterized by diffuse proliferation of mature histiocytes associated with tumorlike masses of foamy reticuloendothelial cells containing lipoid droplets with variable number of eosinophiles and connective tissue. This cells causes tumorlike masses in the bones and other vicera in the body thus it may have very different clinical signs and symptoms. Also it may have acute and fulminant form or chronic and slowly progressive. We have an interesting case with multiple organ involvement and chronic otitis media with granulation in the external audiotory canal and perforation of tympanic membrane. The patient was 3 years old with diabetes insipidus and visceral involvement such as hepato-splenomegaly. Histologic diagnosis was Hand Schuller Christian disease.
