Hypothalamic masses associated with histiocytosis-X may be mistaken for neoplasms. As a result radiation therapy will often be administered rather than chemotherapy, which appears to be the treatment of choice for histiocytosis-X of the hypothalamus. Particularly in young people, the possibility of granulomatous disease should be entertained and biopsy should be considered in the presence of a hypothalamic mass.
与组织细胞增多症-X相关的下丘脑肿块可能会被误诊为肿瘤。因此，通常会进行放射治疗而非化疗，而化疗似乎是下丘脑组织细胞增多症-X的首选治疗方法。特别是对于年轻人，应考虑肉芽肿性疾病的可能性，在下丘脑有肿块的情况下应考虑进行活检。
