Overview

The clinical presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was first described by Dr. Alfred Hand Jr., an American pediatrician, in 1893.[1] The term histiocytosis X was first used to describe the disease by Dr. Sidney Farber, a pathologist at Boston Children's Hospital, in 1941. The term Langerhans cell histiocytosis was finally agreed upon in 1987 by the the Writing Group of the Histiocyte Society.[2][3]

Historical Perspective

  • The clinical presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was first described by Alfred Hand Jr., an American pediatrician, in 1893.[1]
  • The term Hand-Schüller-Christian disease was first used to describe the clinical entity following the work of Dr. Artur Schüller and Dr. Henry Christian.[2]
  • Between the years 1920 and 1940, Dr. Erich Letterer and Dr. Sture Siwe used the term eosinophilic granuloma (Letterer–Siwe disease) to describe a similar clinical entity of the disease.
  • It was not until the year 1941 that Dr. Sidney Farber, a pathologist at Boston Children's Hospital, unified the clinically similar conditions under the term histiocytosis X.
  • Following the advances of electron microscopy, the term Birbeck granules was first used to describe the particles found in Langerhan cells in 1961.[4]
  • The phagocytic nature of Langerhan cells was first described in 1973 by Dr. Christian Nezelof.[3]
  • The term Langerhans cell histiocytosis was finally agreed upon in 1987 by the the Writing Group of the Histiocyte Society.[5]
