Abstract

Erdheim Chester disease (ECD) is very rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) which occurs in the skeletal system and multiple organs. As it is progressive, sometimes it causes fatal results. However, it is often misdiagnosed as LCH or multiple bone metastasis and, thus, is very difficult to diagnose. In Korea, only 10 cases were first reported in 1999. In particular, there have been a few orthopedic approaches or reports in English-speaking literatures, and no report has been issued in Korea. The authors performed bone biopsy in patients with knee and lower extremity pain who were referred for the integrated treatment. We attempts to report this diagnosis experience with literature review.

Erdheim chester disease (ECD)은 골격계 및 다발성 장기에 발생하는 매우 드문 비 랑거한스세포 조직구증(Langerhans cell histiocytosis,LCH)으로 구분되는 질환으로 진행성이며 때론 치명적인 결과를 야기한다. 하지만 이는 LCH 혹은 다발성 골 전이로 오인되기 쉬우며 진단 또한 극히 어렵다. 국내에서는 1999년에 10예가 처음으로 보고되었을 뿐이며 특히 정형외과적으로 접근 및 보고는 문헌상 영어권에서 극히 소수의 문헌만이 존재하며 국내에는 보고된 예가 없다. 저자들은 슬관절 및 하지통은 주소로 본과에 협진된 환자에 대해 골 조직검사 시행하였으며 이에 대한 진단적 경험을 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
