Abstract

Two cases of Histiocytosis X, a Hand-Schuller-Christian disease and a Letterer-Siwe disease, are,examined light and electron microscopically. Many of the histiocytes without appreciable lipid contained numerous rod-shaped structure identical to Langerhan's granules in the cytoplasm. The significance of this structure was discussed together with review of literature.
