Abstract

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (pLCH) is a rare disease, mostly a component of multisystemic LCH. We aimed to investigate the clinical features and treatment results in children with pLCH.We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, radiological, and treatment data of 37 patients with pLCH, diagnosed from 1974 to 2022.10% (n=37) of 367 patients with LCH had lung involvement. The median age was 1.8 years (range: 0.4 & 17.7) with a male-to-female ratio of 2.3. At admission 29.7% (n=11) presented with respiratory symptoms. Imaging showed a spectrum from nodular opacities to multiple cysts. All but one patient had multisystem disease. Twenty-nine received vinblastine-containing therapy. Ten-year event-free (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 47.8% and 63.3%, respectively. In children younger and older than two years of age, the 10-year EFS was 53.3% vs. 40.2% and the 10-year OS was 58.7% vs. 68.8%, respectively. In children with and without risk organ involvement, 10-year EFS was 51.9% vs. 46.3% and 10-year OS was 51.9% vs. 73.7%.Lung and multisystem involvement are significant concerns in LCH, highlighting the need for careful management to reduce morbidity and mortality.
