Pulmonary histiocytosis x from Langerhans’ cells
Abstract
Out of the 75 cases of pulmonary histiocytosis X from Langerhans’ cells under study, the diagnosis found morphological proof in 54. Alongside cytological and hystological tests, we also recurred to electronic microscopic studies, and cell immunotyping with KP-1 (CD-68), MAC-387, and S-100 protein — specific markers of histiocytosis X. This diagnosis is considered proved only when specific markers (Birbeck bodies) and/or the characteristic immunochemical markers of Langerhans’ cells — KP-1 (CD-68) and S-100 protein — are identified in the macrophages of lesion sites.
