Histiocytosis X

Eosinophilic granuloma: resolution of maxillofacial bony lesions following minimal intervention Report of three cases and a review of the literature

“…Unifocal disease in the 2-5 years age group, and multifocal multisystem disease in those less than 3 years of age. The estimated incidence of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in the paediatric population is 3 per 10 6 children per year (Bokkerink and De Vaan, 1980). Lesions may be found in tissues of diverse origin, varying from the digestive tract, lungs and lymphoid tissues to the more commonly affected epidermis, dermis and bones (Egeler and D'Angio, 1995;Geissmann et al, 1996).…”

Self-assessment, and not continuous training, improves basic open suturing skills

“…For this study, a previously validated simulation set up for the training of basic open suturing skills was used, as shown in Figure 1 [ 27 , 28 ]. The set up consisted of a wooden casing of PediatrickBoxx (Nijmegen, the Netherlands) [ 29 ] with a suturing pad from EduStitch (Prinsenbeek, the Netherlands) [ 30 ] in it. The suturing pad was placed in the casing, which created a 45-degree angle between the pad and the table, resulting in the possibility to record the tasks with the camera of a tablet.…”

Occipital Eosinophilic Granuloma Presenting as Throbbing Headache with a “Bump”

“…The estimated incidence of LCH in the pediatric population is three per 10 6 children per year and males are affected twice as frequently as females 3 . EG accounts for 60-70% of the cases of LCH and can present as a solitary (50-75%) or multifocal defects in bone.…”
