'''Letterer-Siwe disease''' is a condition where [[histiocytes]] proliferate in the body. It is sometimes classified as a form of [[Langerhans cell histiocytosis]], or as a disseminated form of [[histiocytosis X]]. It is most commonly seen in children less than two years old.
 
Symptoms include [[lymphadenopathy]], [[hepatosplenomegaly]], and [[seborrhea]]-like lesions on the skin. Untreated, the disease is fatal. The five-year survival rate with treatment is fifty percent.
