Abstract
The lungs may be involved in patients with histiocytosis X as part of the generalized disease, but histiocytosis X confined to the lungs without extrapulmonary involvement is rare. Two cases of primary pulmonary histiocytosis arising in patients with Hodgkin''s disease are described. It is impossible to state with certainty whether the pulmonary histiocytosis arose as a response to the defects of cell-mediated immunity, or as a consequence of immunosuppression by radiation and chemotherapy.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
