Hepatic sinusoidal dilation in the course of histiocytosis X

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 1983 May;2(2):332-4.

Abstract

We present a case of disseminated histiocytosis X with hepatic involvement characterized by sinusoidal dilation. This histological feature regressed in connection with the clinical remission of the disease. The present report suggests that sinusoidal dilation might represent a feature of hepatic involvement in the course of histiocytosis X.
