35
Q

36
Q

most common endocrinopathy encountered in LCH

A

Diabetes insipidus

Patients present with polyuria, polydipsia, and nocturia.

37
Q

Histology of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)

A

Histopathologically, typical findings in a skin biopsy show a dense and band-like infiltration of the papillary dermis with LCH cells (Fig. 117-7). These cells are oval shaped with an eosinophilic cytoplasm and typically display an irregular, vesicular, and infolded (kidney-shaped) nucleus

38
Q

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is postitive to what immunohistochemical stains?

A

Positive: CD1a, CD2, CD11b, CD11c, CD13, CD66c, CD68, CD207 (Langerin), CD300LF, S100B, fascin

39
Q

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is negative to what immunohistochemical stain?

A

Negative: stabilin-1

40
Q

in Non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, how can you differentiate Systemic vs cutaneous?

A
41
Q

This immunohistochemical staining is the most sensitive marker in detecting bircebk granules of langerhans cells

A

CD207, an antibody that recognizes a C-type lectin associated with Birbeck granules

42
Q

In LCH, one of the most important predictors of outcome in patients with multiorgan involvement is how the disease responds to systemic treatment in the first how many weeks?

A

6 weeks

43
Q
A
44
Q

treatment protocol for LCH

A

**6-week **induction chemotherapy phase with:
1. vinblastine (6 mg/m2 weekly intravenous bolus) +
2. prednisolone (40 mg/m2 /day orally for 4 weeks and then tapered over 2 weeks)

and a subsequent therapy with vinblastine/prednisolone with or without mercaptopurine, depending on the treatment response after 6 weeks and the involvement of at-risk organs

45
Q

induction treatment for LCH is done how many weeks?

A

6 weeks

46
Q

represents a group of different disorders characterized by the proliferation of histiocytes that do not meet criteria to be diagnosed as Langerhans cells

A

NON-LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS

47
Q

N-LCH are immunohistochemically positive for?

A

(+) CD68
(-)S100B and CD1a

48
Q

This can discriminate N-LCH from LCH and other granulomatous diseases

A

Stabilin-1 (formerly MS-1 antigen or MS-1-HMWP)

49
Q

What are the subclassifications of cutaneous N-LCH?

A
  1. Juvenile Xanthogranuloma
  2. Adult xanthogranuloma
  3. Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma
  4. Spidle Cell N-LCH
50
Q

Systemic forms of N-LCH are regarded as an accumulation of?

A

classically activated macrophages (Mφ1)

Mφ1 are known to develop in response to proinflammatory stimuli such as **T-helper (Th) 1 cytokines **(interferon-γ or bacterial products [lipopolysaccharides]).

They are characterized by secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, such as **interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, **and possess a strong oxidative burst and a profound antimicrobial activity.

51
Q

Cutaneous N-LCH are characterized by the presence of

A

alternatively activated macrophages (Mφ2)

Mφ2 are induced by Th2 cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and transforming growth factor-β, or by antiinflammatory mediators such as glucocorticoids.

They express antiinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1R antagonist and IL-10,chemokine receptor antagonists such as AMAC-1, broad-spectrum receptors of innate immunity, such as macrophage mannose receptor and the haptoglobin receptor CD163.

52
Q

main clinical manifestation of Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD)

A

Lymphadenopathy

The neck lymph nodes are the most common place of histiocyte accumulation, although accumulation outside of lymph nodes may occur

53
Q

an be used as a serum marker to monitor disease progression or therapy response in Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD)

A

S100B

The RDD cells are also positive for CD68, CD163, α1 -antitrypsin, α1 -antichymotrypsin, fascin, HAM-56 (human alveolar macrophage 56), and stabilin-1

54
Q

hallmark of RDD

A

The hallmark of RDD is emperipolesis, in which different types of bone marrow cells, such as lymphocytes or neutrophils, are found in the cytoplasm of histiocytes with a background of mature lymphocytes and plasma cells.

55
Q

characterized by persistent fever, splenomegaly with cytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypofibrinogenemia

A

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)

Increased levels of various cytokines and soluble IL-2 receptor are biologic markers of HLH.
