Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD) is a rare form of non Langerhans' cell histiocytosis. The etiology of ECD is unknown yet. The disease is characterized by the infiltration of lipid-laden histiocytes with foamy to bones and various organs. The heterogeneous manifestations of ECD vary among different individuals. This results in a presentation that may vary from an indolent focal disease to a life threatening organ failure. This review focuses on the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria and treatment of Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD).
厄德里希-切斯特病(ECD)是一种罕见的非朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症。ECD的病因尚不清楚。该疾病的特征是富含脂质的组织细胞浸润,这些细胞呈泡沫状,可累及骨骼和各种器官。ECD的临床表现具有异质性,在不同个体之间有所不同。这导致其表现可能从惰性局灶性疾病到危及生命的器官衰竭不等。本综述重点关注厄德里希-切斯特病(ECD)的病因、临床表现、诊断标准和治疗。
