  • Title: Historical perspectives of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
    Author: Komp DM.
    Journal: Hematol Oncol Clin North Am; 1987 Mar; 1(1):9-21. PubMed ID: 3312151.
    Abstract:
    This brief review of the history of Langerhans cell histiocytosis brings us into touch with the history of medicine of the last 100 years and the opportunity to reflect on the progress in medicine in general. Hand, Christian, Schüller, Letterer, and Siwe represent far more than names to attach to eponyms. This historical overview takes us from the first descriptions of the disease in the literature through the modern efforts to take the X out of histiocytosis-X.
