Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare sporadic proliferative disorder of Langerhans cells. LCH rarely involves the thyroid gland. We report herein a case of a disseminated chronic form of LCH with a diagnosis established by histological examination of the thyroid gland. It is about a 37-year-old female who underwent total thyroidectomy for a thyroid nodule of the right lobe. Histological study showed a granulomatous thyroiditis, and the immunohistochemistry study revealed a strong positivity of histiocytes for the CD1 antigen and for the S100 protein. The incidence of LCH involving the thyroid gland, either as an isolated lesion or as a part of multisystemic disease, is extremely rare.
朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症(LCH)是一种罕见的朗格汉斯细胞散发性增殖性疾病。LCH很少累及甲状腺。我们在此报告一例播散性慢性LCH病例,其诊断通过甲状腺组织学检查确定。患者为一名37岁女性,因右叶甲状腺结节接受了全甲状腺切除术。组织学研究显示为肉芽肿性甲状腺炎,免疫组织化学研究显示组织细胞对CD1抗原和S100蛋白呈强阳性。LCH累及甲状腺,无论是作为孤立病变还是作为多系统疾病的一部分,其发生率都极其罕见。
