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 Alfred Hand, Artur Schüller, and Henry Asbury Christian.[2][3][4][5]
