Background: Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare interstitial lung disease primarily affecting young to middle-aged smokers. While traditionally linked to tobacco use, there is growing evidence that cannabis use may contribute to PLCH.
Methods: We present a case of a 52-year-old male with PLCH associated with heavy cannabis use.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is common in this patient population, but whether there is a causal or coincidental relationship is not yet clear. It still remains unsettled how to diagnose GERD, and the role of different treatment modalities for GERD, in these lung disorders.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is an extremely rare non-Langerhans cell disorder that is believed to include both inflammatory and neoplastic characteristics. It is caused due to genetic mutations in proto-oncogenes like BRAF and MEK, while immunological pathways have an essential role in the onset and progression of the disease. Despite its rarity, ECD poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation and limited understanding of its underlying pathophysiology.

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a rare primary immunodeficiency with susceptibility and vulnerability to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Most patients were diagnosed in early childhood and do not survive into adulthood. Here we reported an adult-onset XLP patient presenting with fever, dyspnea, and pulmonary nodules, mimicking respiratory infection at disease onset.
