  • The table below lists the features of each specific Langerhans cell histiocytosis subtype:
Subtype Organ Involvement Age Risk Factors Prognosis
Clinical subtype
  • Acute and lymphomatous subtypes have a poor prognosis, where as chronic and smouldering subtypes have a good prognosis.
Age
  • Males are associated with a worse prognosis when compared to females.
