Abstract | PURPOSE: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare proliferative disease of cells of the CD1a+/CD207+ myeloid dendritic cell lineage that may infiltrate one or more organs or systems at all ages. We aimed to evaluate periostin and sclerostin serum levels in adult patients with LCH. |
