title: Isolated pulmonary histiocytosis.
abstract: Pulmonary disease in the 'histiocytosis syndromes' is not uncommon. Isolated pulmonary histiocytosis, however, is rarely diagnosed. We describe three patients with this condition, with ages ranging from 3 weeks to 9 1/2 years, in whom there was no evidence of disease in any other organ. Their presentation, treatment, and clinical progress over three years of follow up are discussed.
