Difficulties of diagnosing of the Langerhans histiocytosis

Abstract

A variety of clinical symptoms significantly impedes to diagnose of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Both presented clinical cases demonstrate patients, who were treated by dermatologists with different diagnoses for a relatively long time. This indicates show a small awareness of physicians about histiocytosis, which leads to late diagnosis verification and the development of severe visceral lesions, most of which are already irreversible.
