[Coexistence of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Niemann-Pick disease in children: a case report].
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Niemann-Pick disease are very rare diseases. Both LCH and Niemann-Pick disease are distinguished by complex etiology, pathogenesis and broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. In our study we presented case report of 2.5 year old girl in who the coexistence of both diseases was noted. General symptoms that led to diagnosis were: hepatosplenomegaly, cholestatic jaundice, cutaneous lesions and mental development retardation.
