| Abstract: Little progress has been made in finding the cause of LCH. Epidemiologic studies are difficult because of the rarity of the disease. Although several associations have been demonstrated in case-control studies-in particular the association with thyroid disease-no causal relationships have been documented. Additional case-control studies may uncover the to-date missing lead that proves fruitful for epidemiologic investigation. |
