[Langerhans cell histiocytosis of lymph node].
Langerhans cell Histiocytosis or Histiocytosis X encompasses the syndromes of Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schuller-Christian disease and eosinophilic granuloma. The localized disease usually consisted of isolated bone involvement as osteolytic areas. The isolated lymph node disease is uncommon. A case study of eosinophilic granuloma of lymph node in a 27 years-old woman who underwent several recurrences as lymphadenitis is presented. This case is presented in light of the cytologic, histologic and immunohistochemical findings of node-based eosinophilic granuloma and the favorable prognosis of this localized form treated with steroids.
