A Comparative Study on Langerhans Cells in Lymph Nodes with Dermatopathic Lymphadenopathy and Histiocytosis X Cells

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 378))

Abstract

Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy (DPL) is characterized by the existence of a large number of dendritic cells (DC) , namely Langerhans cells (LC) and/or interdigitating cells (IDC), in the paracortical areas. It is generally accepted that histiocytosis X (HCX) are proliferative diseases of LC, to the extent that recently HCX are also termed Langerhans cell histiocytosis. We would now like to show some differences between these LC in DPL, and HCX cells.
