CASE OF LANGERHANS-CELL LUNG HISTIOCYTOSIS IN AN ADULT PATIENT
Langergans-cellular hypocytosis of the lungs is a rare pathology from the group of interstitial lung diseases, which is based on the formation of specific granules from dentritic antigenpresentient hystiocytes - Langergans cells. The disease affects young people aged 20 to 40 years. The etiology and pathogenesis of langergans-cellular hypocytosis of the lungs are for certain unknown; however, there is a clear connection between the development of histocytosis and tobacco smoking. The purpose of the work is to present a clinical case of langhergan-cell hystiocytosis of the lungs in a young, non-smoking man who appealed for medical assistance with complaints of fever, cough, shortness of breath and pain in the chest. This example shows the difficulty of diagnosing this pathology, due to the absence of pathogenic symptoms and the need for pathomorphological verification of the diagnosis. The disease worsens the quality of life, leads to disability and requires the lifetime use of hormonal or cytostatic therapy.
