Histiocytic disorders

  • Chapter
Paediatric Neoplasia

Part of the book series: Current Histopathology ((CUHI,volume 22))

Abstract

This is a complex group of reactive and neoplasmic disorders that originate generally from at least two different subsets of immune accessory cell: (a) the dendritic cell system (DCS) and (b) the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) 1-3. Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy are often important in their differentiation4.
