Resumen

La histiocitosis de células de Langerhans es una proliferación clonal anormal de células con un inmunofenotipo positivo para S-100, CD1a y presencia de gránulos de Birbeck en el citoplasma. Se caracteriza por manifestaciones clínicas variables desde una enfermedad multisistémica aguda con alta mortalidad hasta una forma crónica de curso más benigno.
Se presenta una revisión sobre la fisiopatología, hallazgos clínicos y algunos conceptos importantes acerca del diagnóstico y tratamiento de las histiocitosis.
