Article Synopsis
  • - Cutaneous histiocytoses are a diverse group of skin diseases marked by an abnormal buildup of cells resembling macrophages or dendritic cells, ranging from mild skin issues to severe multi-organ conditions.
  • - Traditionally, these diseases were classified based on the characteristics of the pathological cells, specifically distinguishing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) from non-LCH types.
  • - Recent developments in molecular pathology have led to a new classification system for histiocytoses that takes into account genetic changes, clinical features, and imaging results, with juvenile xanthogranuloma and LCH being common in children.
