Multisystem LCH

Multisystem Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder where certain immune cells called Langerhans cells grow abnormally and infiltrate multiple organs, such as bones, skin, liver, lungs, and lymph nodes. This can cause a range of symptoms depending on affected organs, including pain, swelling, skin rashes, or organ dysfunction. The severity varies; some cases are mild, while others require aggressive treatment. The exact cause is unknown, but it involves abnormal immune cell behavior. Early diagnosis and tailored therapy are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent long-term damage.
