Description |
PSH is a rare, adult-onset, non-Langerhans-cell histiocytosis characterized by the abnormal proliferation of histiocytes, or tissue macrophages. It is a multisystemic disease, associated with systemic immune Th-1 oriented perturbation. More than 50% of PSH cases carry mutations in the BRAF proto-oncogene (BRAF-V600E; Haroche et al., 2017- PMID: 27234902 [in French]) . |
