Overview
In medicine, histiocytosis is an excessive number of histiocytes,that is an excessive number of tissue macrophages, and is typically used to refer to a group of rare diseases which share this as a characteristic. Occasionally and confusingly it is sometimes used to refer to individual diseases. Histiocytosis (and malignant histiocytosis) are both important in veterinary as well as human pathology.
