      The systemic histiocytoses are uncommon disorders, generally confined to childhood. An explosion in interest in dendritic cells in general is leading to greater insight into the lineage affiliations of the constituent cells. Only multi-institutional prospective studies will elucidate the natural history and biological potential of the more unusual examples described in this overview.
