Erdheim-Chester disease and langerhans cell histiocytosis are two rare diseases separate on clinical, radiological and histological aspects. However, several cases involving both entities have been described.
A 70-year-old man had a central diabetes insipidus, xanthelasmas, retroperitoneal fibrosis and osteosclerosis of the legs suggestive of Erdheim-Chester disease. Bone biopsy showed langerhans cell histiocytosis CD1a positive with the presence of BRAF V600E mutation. The patient was treated with vemurafenib with a good clinical course.
The literature review finds forty observations linking the two diseases that may suggest a pathophysiological link, especially with the hematopoietic myeloid stem cell CD34+. The term inflammatory myeloid neoplasm was advanced.
厄尔德海姆-切斯特病和朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症是两种在临床、放射学和组织学方面均不同的罕见疾病。然而,已有数例涉及这两种疾病的病例被报道。
一名70岁男性患有中枢性尿崩症、睑黄瘤、腹膜后纤维化以及提示厄尔德海姆-切斯特病的腿部骨硬化。骨活检显示朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症,CD1a阳性,存在BRAF V600E突变。该患者接受了维莫非尼治疗,临床过程良好。
文献回顾发现40例将这两种疾病联系起来的病例,这可能提示存在病理生理联系,尤其是与造血髓系干细胞CD34+有关。有人提出了“炎性髓系肿瘤”这一术语。
