Langerhans cell histiocytosis is most common in children and young adults.; NICHD: Tissue infiltration by Langerhans cells (histiocytes). When infiltration involves the pituitary stalk or gland, presentation includes diabetes insipidus, which is sometimes accompanied by other pituitary dysfunction.;
