Abstract
A rare cause of hepatosplenomegaly: Langerhans cell histiocytosis
References
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LHH) is a rare disease with infiltration and monoclonal proliferation, typically infant and organs with mononuclear phagocytic systems therein. The most common bone involvement (osteolytic lesions) and the second most common skin involvement. Since Langerhans cell histiocyte cells are present in many places in our body, they can also produce symptoms with rare symptoms. In this case, a 9-month-old girl with fever, hepatosplenomegaly, papular, seborrheic dermatitis on hands and diagnosed as LHH was examined.

Abstract
Özet
Langerhans hücreli histiyositoz(LHH) tipik olarak infant ve çocukları etkileyen mononükleer fagositer sistem hücreler tarafından organların infiltrasyonu ve monoklonal proliferasyonu ile karakterize nadir bir hastalıktır.. Langerhans hücreli histiyositler pek çok organda bulunduğundan klinik bulgular en sık kemik tutulumu olmak üzere ikinci sıklıkta da deri tutulumu ile ilgili iken nadir semptomlarla da görülebilmektedir.
Bu olgu ile ateş, hepatosplenomegali ile izlenirken cilt bulguları ortaya çıktıktan sonra LHH tanısı konulan kız olgu irdelenmiştir.
