Abstract
This article reviews the various investigative events that led to the endorsement of the term Langerhans cell histiocytosis for the various clinicopathologic conditions previously called Hand-Schuller-Christian disease, Abt-Letterer-Siwe disease, Eosinophilic granuloma of bone, a nd histiocytosis X. The different denominations reflect the changing c onceptual approaches to the so-called reticuloendothelial system and t he successive acquisition of new ultrastructural and immunocytochemica l data.
