[Chronic disseminated histiocytosis in the adult. Apropos of a case with a 12-year remission].
The authors report a rare case of diffuse histiocytosis X in an adult aged 47 followed up for 12 years. There was extensive skeletal and oral dissemination but without visceral, cutaneous or neurological involvement. Blood investigations showed only a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The literature of histiocytosis is reviewed; few papers could be found concerning this type of disease in adults.
