The following are manifestations of LCH:
Solitary or multifocal eosinophilic granuloma: lesions typically impact bone.
Hand-Schueller-Christian disease: typically impacts flat bones
Letterer-Siwe disease: the most severe form of LCH.
Hand-Schuller-Christian syndrome often occurs with lymphoma, carcinoma, and multifocal eosinophilic granuloma (it occurs in 25% of all cases of multifocal eosinophilic granuloma).
