Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic histopathological analysis, findings of langerhans cell histiocytosis include:

  • Langerhans cells histiocytes
  • Clusters of cells (histiocytes) with a reniform (kidney-shaped) nucleus and abundant foamy cytoplasm.
  • Nucleus may look like a "coffee bean", that is have nuclear grooves, appearance dependent on the rotation of the nucleus.
  • May be called "buttock cells".
