Hello, it's a pleasure to explain this to you. Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the lung is a benign and long-term course of disease. The pathological features of lung tissue are characterized by the proliferation and infiltration of Langerhans cells. Treatment requires cytotoxic drugs and glucocorticoids.
