LCH Consultation
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare immune system disorder. In this condition, certain immune cells called Langerhans cells multiply uncontrollably and can cause inflammation or tissue damage in various organs.
The course of the disease can vary greatly—from a single, harmless lesion to a severe form involving multiple organs. For example, it can affect bones, skin, or internal organs such as the liver, spleen, lungs, or the blood and bone marrow system.
At our LCH consultation clinic at the University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg), adults with suspected LCH or a confirmed diagnosis can seek specialized evaluation and care.
Forms of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH):
- Single-System LCH: Only one organ is affected, for example, a solitary bone lesion.
- Multisystem LCH: Multiple organ systems are affected simultaneously. If vital organs such as the liver, spleen, or the hematopoietic system are involved, the disease can have a more severe course.
- Pulmonary LCH: A special form that occurs primarily in adults and is often associated with smoking.
Our team provides comprehensive diagnostics, counseling, and treatment planning for patients with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). We collaborate interdisciplinarily with specialists in hematology, oncology, endocrinology, radiology, and other fields to ensure the best possible, individualized treatment.
