Langerhans cell histiocytosis includes a variety of clinical syndromes including, in decreasing severity:
- Letterer-Siwe disease
- Hand-Schuller-Christian disease
- eosinophilic granuloma of bone
There is considerable overlap between these presentations, and more commonly Langerhans cell histiocytosis is used as a generic description for them all.
