Liver lesions in histiocytosis X: findings on sonography and computed tomography

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University Hospital of Oulu, Finland

This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Histiocytosis X is a disease of the lymphoreticular system of unknown aetiology, characterised by histiocytic infiltration of one or more tissues (Lichtenstein, 1955). Lipids, mainly cholesterol, are often present in the histiocytic deposits (Anderson & Scotti, 1972). The usual radiological findings of histiocytosis X are skeletal translucencies, pulmonary infiltrations, honeycomb lungs and signs of lymphadenopathy (Sutton, 1980; Vanel et al, 1983). We describe a case with liver lesions, examined by sonography and computed tomography (CT).
