Las histiocitosis Histiocytosis

Abstract

El término histiocitosis identifica un grupo de alteraciones que tienen en común la proliferación de células dendríticas (CD) y los macrófagos, y se diagnostican más frecuentemente en niños. Dentro de las relacionadas con las CD las fundamentales son las histiocitosis a células de Langerhans (HCL). Las HCL tienen un comportamiento clínico muy variable, que puede ir desde una lesión que involucra un solo sitio o sistema hasta una enfermedad multisistémica. El tratamiento depende de la extensión del proceso. Una lesión única tiende a desaparecer espontáneamente. También la biopsia diagnóstica con o sin inyección de un esteroide puede iniciar la curación. Los pacientes con enfermedad multisistémica pueden beneficiarse con el tratamiento esteroideo y citostático o inclusive con el trasplante de células progenitoras hematopoyéticas. La histiocitosis sinusal con linfoadenopatías masivas o enfermedad de Rosai Dorfman se debe a la proliferación de los macrófagos, es de naturaleza benigna y usualmente autolimitada. Afecta sobre todo a niños y adultos jóvenes. La linfohistiocitosis hemofagocítica también se produce por la proliferación de los macrófagos y es una enfermedad rara con una alta mortalidad. Puede ser familiar (autosómica recesiva) o secundaria a infecciones virales. Esta última forma se presenta más frecuentemente en el lactante pequeño. En la actualidad, sobre todo en la variedad familiar, el trasplante alogénico de células progenitoras hematopoyéticas puede ser la única medida curativaThe term histiocytosis identifies a group of disorders that have in common the proliferation of dentritic cells (DC) and macrophages and is frequently diagnosed in children. Among the fundamental variants of histiocytosis related with DC, we find Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Langerhans cell histiocytosis has very variable clinical behavior that ranges from a lesion involving only one site or system to a multisystem disease. Treatment depends on the spread of the process. An only lesion tends to spontaneously disappear. Also diagnostic biopsy with or without steroid injection may lead to healing. Those patients with multisystem disease may benefit from an steroid and cytostatic-based treatment or even from progenitor hematopoietic cell transplantation. Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathies or Rosai Dorfman disease is a benign and usually self-limited disease which is caused by the macrophage proliferation; it generally affects children and young adults. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is also caused by macrophage proliferation and is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. It can be familiar hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (recessive autosomal) or secondary to viral infections, being the latter form the most frequent in infants. At present, mainly in the familiar variant, the progenitor hematopoietic allogenic transplant may serve as the only curative option
