Hand–Schüller–Christian disease
Hand–Schüller–Christian disease is associated with multifocal Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
It is associated with a triad of exophthalmos, lytic bone lesions (often in the skull), and diabetes insipidus (from pituitary stalk infiltration).[1]
It is named for the American pediatrician Alfred Hand Jr.,[2] the Austrian neurologist and radiologist Arthur Schüller,[3] and the American internist Henry Asbury Christian,[4] who described it in 1893,[5] 1915/16[6] and 1919[7]
