[Central nervous system disorders secondary to histiocytoses: neurodegeneration with potential for improvement].

Abstract excerpt

Histiocytoses, including Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), are inflammatory myeloid tumors in which monocyte lineage cells aggregate in various organs, causing tissue damage. Most of these tumors harbor oncogenic mutations in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway genes, typified by BRAFV600E. Some patients with LCH develop bilateral symmetrical cerebellar lesions and...
