1. histiocytosis

   Histiocytosis is a rare type of disease that involves an over-production of white blood cells known as histiocytes. These cells, usually found in the skin and lungs, proceed to attack other organs and tissues in the body, potentially causing damage and creating lesions. The disease can affect both adults and children, and its symptoms and severity can vary widely depending on which parts of the body are affected. There are several distinct types of histiocytosis, including Langerhans cell histiocytosis and non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

1. Histiocytosis

   In medicine, histiocytosis refers to an excessive number of histiocytes, and is typically used to refer to a group of rare diseases which share this as a characteristic. Occasionally and confusingly, the term "histiocytosis" is sometimes used to refer to individual diseases. According to the Histiocytosis Association, 1 in 200,000 children in the United States are born with histiocytosis each year. HAA also states that most of the people diagnosed with histiocytosis are children under the age of 10, although the disease can afflict adults. The University of California, San Francisco, states that the disease usually occurs from birth to age 15. Histiocytosis are both important in veterinary as well as human pathology.
