Letterer–Siwe disease is one of the four recognized clinical syndromes of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). It causes approximately 10% of LCH disease and is the most severe form.[1] Prevalence is estimated at 1:500,000 and the disease almost exclusively occurs in children less than three years old.[2] The name is derived from the names of Erich Letterer and Sture Siwe.

Presentation

Letterer-Siwe is characterized by skin lesions, ear drainage, lymphadenopathy, osteolytic lesions, and hepatosplenomegaly. The skin lesions are scaly and may involve the scalp, ear canals, and abdomen.[3]

Cause

Oncogenic mutation of BRAF 50-70% cases {{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

Diagnosis

Prognosis

The disease is often rapidly fatal, with a five year survival rate of 50%. The development of thrombocytopenia is a poor prognostic sign.[1]
