A review of literature has been presented involving clinicomorphological characteristics of certain variants of histiocytosis X (HX) and current conception considering this disease as an immunopathologic process that is underlain by reactive proliferation of a specific subtype of antigen-presenting macrophages--Langerhans' cells. Clinico-morphological picture has been described and the results of successful treatment with roferon (human gene-engineering alpha 2-interferon) in 3 adult patients with HX have been presented. It is stressed that the actual effectiveness of the treatment with roferon could not be critically evaluated due to a high frequency of spontaneous remissions of this disease.

D006646 Histiocytosis, Langerhans-Cell A group of disorders resulting from the abnormal proliferation of and tissue infiltration by LANGERHANS CELLS which can be detected by their characteristic Birbeck granules (X bodies), or by monoclonal antibody staining for their surface CD1 ANTIGENS. Langerhans-cell granulomatosis can involve a single organ, or can be a systemic disorder.
