1/5. Periodontal disease associated with Langerhans' cell histiocytosis: case report.A clinical case of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, type eosinophilic granuloma, in a young adult patient is presented. Because of the occurrence of oral manifestations in initial stages of the disease, there is a need for a differential diagnosis, especially with the early-onset periodontitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = histiocytosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/5. Langerhans cell histiocytosis: recurrent lesions affecting mandible in a 10-year-old patient.hand-Schuller-Christian disease is a multifocal variant of eosinophilic granuloma, characterised by the classical triad of bony lesions, exophthalmos and diabetes insipidus. This case relates recurrent Langerhans' cell histiocytosis lesions presented as destruction of periodontal support associated with diabetes in a 10-year-old patient. Medical history suggests that the case represents a case of hand-Schuller Christian disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = histiocytosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/5. Recurrent histiocytosis X with mandibular lesions.A 19-year old male patient suffered a recurrence of histiocytosis X after 11 years of apparent remission. Radiographic lesions were found in the mandible. Loose and painful teeth were present. Low-dose radiation to the mandible and oral chemotherapy were followed with regression of bony lesions. Reports of incidence, treatment methods, and recurrences are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = histiocytosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/5. Oral symptoms in histiocytosis X.histiocytosis X, a term comprising three well-known disease complexes, may have dental mobility as a prodromal or major symptom. In each of three patients described, an oral finding predated the other symptoms. The earliest symptom in one patient was loosened teeth; in another, periodontosis-like symptoms were documented ten years before the patient's report of pelvic pain which led to a diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma; in the third patient, premature eruption of the primary teeth the gingival bleeding was the prodromal symptom. The clinician should understand the significance of each finding and investigate them until a confirmatory diagnosis is made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = histiocytosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/5. histiocytosis X: evidence for a genetic etiology.histiocytosis X is a rare disorder with no particular predilection for race, age or sex. Since its discovery by hand in 1893, the etiology has remained unknown, although viruses, bacteria and genetic factors have been implicated. Familial occurrence of this disease is very rare, and only a handful of such cases have been reported. The present study adds further evidence to support the influence of genetic factors in the etiology of histiocytosis X.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = histiocytosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
