Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester Disease, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai Dorfman disease, or other histiocytic neoplasms.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under the age of 18 or those unwilling to provide consent will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This registry aims to gather comprehensive information about patients diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester Disease and other histiocytic neoplasms. By collecting health data, treatment outcomes, and patient experiences, the study seeks to understand the impact of these diseases over time. Participants may also be invited to share their experiences through brief telephone interviews, although participation in interviews is optional. The goal is to enhance knowledge about histiocytosis and improve future patient care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to better understanding and management of Erdheim-Chester Disease and related conditions.
How similar studies have gone: While registries for rare diseases have shown success in gathering valuable data, this specific approach for histiocytoses is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester Disease, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai Dorfman disease, or another histiocytic neoplasm by either 1) documented histopathologic establishing ECD or HN or 2) documented histopathologic findings compatible with Erdheim-Chester disease or HN in the context of corroborating clinical and/or radiologic findings or 3) documented radiologic findings, in the absence of a biopsy having been performed or yielding evaluable tissue, that are felt by the Principal Investigator to unequivocally represent an ECD/HN diagnosis given the clinical context or 4) self reported with supporting documentation upon medical record collection. * Proficiency in English, in the determination of the Investigator or by self report. * Willing to have historical and future HN-related health records sent to Registry review. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients unwilling to sign consent. * Participants under the age of 18.
