  • Title: Regressing atypical histiocytosis: a case report of control following low dose radiation therapy.
    Author: Selch MT, Fu YS.
    Journal: Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys; 1987 Nov; 13(11):1739-45. PubMed ID: 3667380.
    Abstract:
    A case of regressing atypical histiocytosis with a 10-year local course is reported. Long term control of a large fungating mass was achieved with low dose electron beam irradiation to 1500 cGy. Whereas spontaneous resolution of regressing atypical histiocytosis has been noted in the literature, this case demonstrates that certain lesions may be more aggressive than commonly assumed. In these particularly destructive lesions radiation therapy may have a role.
