Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) involves disorders previously referred as 'histiocytosis X' (including eosinophilic granuloma, Letterer-Siwe, and Hand-Schuller syndrome). Its clinical patterns are various and it is a basically benign tumoral condition but with a strong tendency toward dissemination and destruction. Its natural history is unpredictable. But, in solitary bone lesion, wide resection with tumor-free margin is required in order to provide the best chance for a cure. In the majority of patients LCH is a osteolytic lesion with a predilection for calvarium and is rarely seen in the skull base and the femur. LCM of rib, especially if solitary, is relatively rare. We report two rare cases of solitary LCH developed in the rib, which were successfully treated by surgical resection.

랑거한스세포 조직구증식증은 호산구성 육아종, Letterer-Siwe병, Hand-Schuller 증후군을 포함하는 질환으로 이전에는 조직구증식증 X로 명명되어 왔다. 이 질환의 임상적 양상은 다양하며, 기본적인 종양의 성질은 양성이나 파종되는 성질이 아주 강하다. 질환의 자연 경과는 예측할 수 없다. 하지만, 뼈에 생긴 단일 병변일 경우 광범위 절제를 통해서 완치율을 높일 수가 있다. 대부분의 랑거한스세포 조직구증식증 환자에서는 주로 두개골 천정에 골용해 병변이 나타나며, 드물게 두개골 기저부와 대퇴골을 침범하기도 한다. 늑골에 생기는 단일 병소의 랑거한스세포 조직구증식증은 비교적 드물다. 본 저자들은 늑골에 생기는 단일 병소의 랑거한스세포 조직구증식증 2예를 외과적 절제술로 치료하였기에 보고한다.
