Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) seems to play a key role in the pathogenesis of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH). Thalidomide is an immunomodulator agent of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha. To our knowledge this is the first case of disseminated LCH successfully treated with thalidomide.
肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)似乎在朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症(LCH)的发病机制中起关键作用。沙利度胺是一种包括TNF-α在内的炎性细胞因子的免疫调节剂。据我们所知,这是首例用沙利度胺成功治疗的播散性LCH病例。
