Resumen

La histiocitosis engloba un grupo de afecciones de gran polimorfismo cuya lesión básica es el granuloma histiocítico. El patrón anatomopatológico está dominado por la proliferación de un histiocito anormal de gran capacidad plástica, eosinófilos, linfocito y otros tipos de células polinucleares, así como necrosis y reacción esclero-fibrosa en distinta proporción.

En el interior del citoplasma de los histiocitos se encuentran inclusiones de significación muy discutida.

Se realiza la clasificación clínica de las distintas formas de presentación de la histiocitosis.

Se expone el caso estudiado por nosotros en el que se trata de una forma diseminada crónica del adulto que afecta pulmón y hueso.

En el comentario se indica la incidencia en el sexo masculino, la distinta frecuencia de los diversos síntomas y signos clínicos y distintas formas de presentación radiológica. Se hace referencia a los diagnósticos diferenciales, evolución espirométrica, implicación del lecho vascular pulmonar, afectación miocárdica, en la que señalamos, en nuestro caso, una alteración funcional de ventrículo derecho y aumento de los volúmenes residuales y telediastólicos de ambos ventrículos.

Comentamos las posibles evoluciones y complicaciones de esta enfermedad, así como la capacidad de regresión, con datos estadísticos con respecto al pronóstico y actuación terapéutica aconsejable.

Summary

Histiocytosis includes a group of affections of many varied forms whose basic lesion is histiocyte granuloma. The anatomicopathological pattern is dominated by the proliferation of an abnormal histiocyte of great plastic capacity, eosinophils, lymphocytes and other types of polynuclear cells, as well as necrosis and sclerofibrous reaction in different proportions.

In the interior of the cytoplasma of the histiocytes one finds elements of very controversial meaning included.

The clinical classification of the various forms of presentation of histiocytosis is made.

The authors relate the case they have studied which has a chronic disseminated form of an adult, affecting lung and bone.

Commentaries are made on the incidence in males, the different frequency of various symptoms and clinical signs and different forms of radiological presentation. Reference is made to the differential diagnosis, spirometric evolution, implication of the pulmonary vascular bed, myocardiac affectation, in which is to be indicated in this case, a functional alteration of right ventricle and increase oí the residual and telediastolic volumes of both ventricles.

Finally the authors comment on the possible evolution and complications of this disease as well as on the capacity of regression with statistical. data on the prognosis and advisable therapeutical measures.
