Disclosures Scientific Committee, NovImmune NI 0501 (IFN g antibody) Clinical Trials. Consultant, Roche. There are no drugs approved for use in LCH. Histiocytoses Histiocyte = Tissue Cell Classification is dynamic with changing understanding of biology. Classification based on presumed cell of origin.

2 ICD10 Histiocytoses Fernandes, Intl. Arch. Otorhinolaryngol 2009 North American Clinics in Hematology and Oncology, 1998 LCH treatment strategy is based more on a roulette wheel than on scientifically based logic. Certainly part of the confusion and lack of consensus is derived from persisting ambivalence as to whether LCH is primarily a neoplastic disorder, an immunodysregulatory disorder, or a disorder with characteristics of both.
