(+info)Langerhans cell sarcoma is a very rare and aggressive type of cancer that affects a specific group of cells called Langerhans cells, which are part of the immune system. These cells are normally found in the skin and mucous membranes, where they help to fight infection. In Langerhans cell sarcoma, these cells become malignant (cancerous) and can multiply and spread to other parts of the body.
Langerhans cell sarcoma is distinct from a more common type of cancer called Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which is not considered a true cancer but rather a disorder of the immune system. The exact cause of Langerhans cell sarcoma is not known, but it is thought to arise from genetic mutations that occur in Langerhans cells.
Symptoms of Langerhans cell sarcoma can vary depending on the location and extent of the cancer. Common symptoms may include skin rashes or lesions, fever, fatigue, weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes. Treatment for Langerhans cell sarcoma typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. However, because this is such a rare and aggressive cancer, treatment options may vary depending on the individual case.
Langerhans cells are specialized dendritic cells that are found in the epithelium, including the skin (where they are named after Paul Langerhans who first described them in 1868) and mucous membranes. They play a crucial role in the immune system as antigen-presenting cells, contributing to the initiation of immune responses.
These cells contain Birbeck granules, unique organelles that are involved in the transportation of antigens from the cell surface to the lysosomes for processing and presentation to T-cells. Langerhans cells also produce cytokines, which help regulate immune responses and attract other immune cells to the site of infection or injury.
It is important to note that although Langerhans cells are a part of the immune system, they can sometimes contribute to the development of certain skin disorders, such as allergic contact dermatitis and some forms of cancer, like Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
Sarcoma, clear cell, is a rare type of cancer that arises from certain types of connective tissue in the body. It is called "clear cell" because the cancer cells have a clear appearance when viewed under a microscope due to the presence of lipids or glycogen within the cytoplasm.
Clear cell sarcoma can occur in various parts of the body, but it most commonly affects the soft tissues of the extremities, such as the legs and arms. It is an aggressive cancer that tends to spread to other parts of the body, including the lungs, lymph nodes, and bones.
Clear cell sarcoma typically occurs in young adults, with a median age at diagnosis of around 30 years old. The exact cause of this type of sarcoma is not known, but it has been linked to genetic mutations involving the EWSR1 gene. Treatment for clear cell sarcoma usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Despite treatment, the prognosis for patients with clear cell sarcoma is generally poor, with a five-year survival rate of around 50%.
Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops from certain types of connective tissue (such as muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, blood vessels, or nerves) found throughout the body. It can occur in any part of the body, but it most commonly occurs in the arms, legs, chest, and abdomen.
Sarcomas are classified into two main groups: bone sarcomas and soft tissue sarcomas. Bone sarcomas develop in the bones, while soft tissue sarcomas develop in the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, fat, blood vessels, and nerves.
Sarcomas can be further classified into many subtypes based on their specific characteristics, such as the type of tissue they originate from, their genetic makeup, and their appearance under a microscope. The different subtypes of sarcoma have varying symptoms, prognoses, and treatment options.
Overall, sarcomas are relatively rare cancers, accounting for less than 1% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States each year. However, they can be aggressive and may require intensive treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
Dendritic cell sarcoma, follicular is a very rare type of cancer that affects the dendritic cells, which are a type of immune cell found in the body. Specifically, this type of sarcoma arises from follicular dendritic cells, which are found in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs. These cells play an important role in helping the immune system recognize and respond to foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria.
Dendritic cell sarcoma, follicular typically presents as a mass or enlargement of a lymph node or other lymphoid organ. It can also spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. The symptoms of this type of cancer may vary depending on the location and extent of the tumor, but they can include swelling of lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue.
The exact cause of dendritic cell sarcoma, follicular is not known, but it is thought to arise from genetic mutations that occur in the cells over time. Treatment for this type of cancer typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the stage and location of the tumor.
It's important to note that medical definitions can be complex and technical, and they should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. If you have any concerns about your health or symptoms, please consult with a qualified healthcare provider.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder characterized by the abnormal proliferation and accumulation of dendritic cells called Langerhans cells in various tissues and organs of the body. These cells are part of the immune system and normally help to fight infection. However, in LCH, an overactive immune response leads to the excessive buildup of these cells, forming granulomas that can damage organs and impair their function.
The exact cause of LCH is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve genetic mutations that lead to uncontrolled cell growth and division. The disorder can affect people of any age, although it is most commonly diagnosed in children under the age of 15.
LCH can affect a single organ or multiple organs, depending on the severity and extent of the disease. Commonly affected sites include the bones, skin, lymph nodes, lungs, liver, spleen, and pituitary gland. Symptoms vary widely depending on the location and severity of the disease, but may include bone pain, rashes, fatigue, fever, weight loss, cough, and difficulty breathing.
Treatment for LCH depends on the extent and severity of the disease. In mild cases, observation and monitoring may be sufficient. More severe cases may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery to remove affected tissues. In some cases, immunosuppressive drugs or targeted therapies that target specific genetic mutations may be used.
Overall, LCH is a complex and poorly understood disorder that requires careful evaluation and management by a team of medical specialists. While the prognosis for patients with LCH has improved in recent years, some cases can be life-threatening or lead to long-term complications.
Small cell sarcoma is a very rare and aggressive type of cancer that affects the connective tissues in the body, such as muscles, tendons, bones, cartilage, and fat. It is called "small cell" because the cancer cells are small and appear round or oval in shape, with scant cytoplasm and finely granular chromatin.
Small cell sarcoma typically occurs in adults between the ages of 40 and 70, and it can develop in any part of the body. However, it is most commonly found in the extremities, trunk, and retroperitoneum. The exact cause of small cell sarcoma is not known, but it is thought to be associated with genetic mutations that occur during a person's lifetime.
Small cell sarcoma can be difficult to diagnose because it often does not cause any symptoms until it has advanced to an aggressive stage. When symptoms do occur, they may include pain, swelling, or a lump in the affected area. Diagnosis typically involves a biopsy of the tumor tissue, followed by imaging tests such as CT scans, MRI scans, or PET scans to determine the extent of the cancer.
Treatment for small cell sarcoma usually involves surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. However, because small cell sarcoma is so rare and aggressive, treatment options may be limited, and the prognosis is often poor. Clinical trials of new treatments are also an option for some patients.

- Nous suggérons de mettre en place des programmes de formation médicale continue, d'améliorer l'accès aux services de diagnostic, et de faciliter l'orientation-recours de façon à donner la priorité aux patients suspects de cancer et ainsi raccourcir le délai de diagnostic. (who.int)
- At the age of 10, Deryn Blackwell was diagnosed with leukaemia and two years later developed a rare form of cancer called Langerhans cell sarcoma. (xpeerion.com)
- In the most severe form of the disease, the cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body. (homeremedylifestyle.com)
Characteristically1
- Histologically, Langerhans cells characteristically display Birbeck granules and nuclei with a longitudinal groove. (wikipedia.org)
Primary2
- All primary malignant bone tumour cases should be discussed at a properly constituted sarcoma multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. (biomedcentral.com)
- Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) form a tight meshwork in primary and secondary lymphoid follicles and interact with T and B lymphocytes through antigen presentation and generation and regulation of the germinal centre reaction [ 2 , 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Diagnosis3
- Diagnosis of Langerhans Cell Sarcoma is predominantly a pathologic diagnosis. (wikipedia.org)
- Thus, a diagnosis is made by skin biopsy showing a large number of yeasts of uniform size and thick cell walls that form chains linked by thin bridges that are shown by staining with methenamine silver ( 2 , 4 , 9 , 18 ). (cdc.gov)
- An accurate diagnosis is necessary given that different clinical management is required: the first step in a definitive diagnosis is based on the examination of the peripheral blood and bone marrow smears allowing the identification of hairy cells and a specific Flow Cytometric Analysis (FCA).

- Comparison of real-time microvascular abnormalities in pediatric and adult sickle cell anemia patients. (ucdavis.edu)
Clinical3
- Clinical factors such as a high International Prognostic Index (IPI) or molecular factors as cell of origin (COO) have an influence on the clinical outcome after conventional immunochemotherapy. (deepdyve.com)
- The HCL-Japanese variant form (jpHCL) is rare and less well defined: there are common points with vHCL but several aspects are different in terms of morphology of hairy cells, degree of leukocytosis or clinical course. (fortuneonline.org)
- Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare tumour with clinical behaviour covering a spectrum from indolent to aggressive disease. (biomedcentral.com)
V600E1
- In giant congenital melanocytic nevus, a somatic V600E mutation occurs during embryonic development in cells that will develop into pigment-producing skin cells (melanocytes). (medlineplus.gov)
