Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 21 Saudi children with Histiocytosis-X were reviewed. 13 were males, 8 were females, with a ratio of 1.62:1. Five had unifocal disease while 16 were with multifocal disease. Bone involvement was seen in 19 patients (90.4%), and three patients had organ dysfunction. One patient had family history of Histiocytosis-X. Follow-up was from 1-10 years (Median 3 years). Three patients died, three had recurrences and eight patients had various disabilities (38%). Overall disease free survival was 84.2 percent.
