Endocrinopathies are frequently the initial presentation of histiocytic neoplasms, which are rare hematologic disorders affecting multiple organ systems. Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester disease are 2 such disorders known to infiltrate the hypothalamus and/or pituitary gland, leading to arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D) and anterior pituitary dysfunction (APD) in 20% to 30% of cases, often as the first manifestation. Conversely, histiocytic disorders account for a notable proportion (10-15%) of all pituitary stalk lesions. The diagnosis of histiocytoses is often delayed in such cases due to the nonspecific presentation of endocrinopathies and pituitary involvement. Consequently, endocrinologists are at the frontline and uniquely positioned to achieve early diagnosis by recognizing the varied nonendocrine features of these disorders. This article provides an overview of the endocrine manifestations of histiocytic disorders and presents a simplified algorithm to guide the diagnostic workup in cases presenting with "idiopathic" AVP-D or APD. Such cases should be evaluated for histiocytic neoplasms with additional imaging studies and biopsies of suspected disease sites. If no disease site beyond the pituitary is identified, the risks and benefits of a pituitary stalk lesion biopsy must be carefully considered. While treatments of histiocytic neoplasms are highly efficacious, endocrinopathies are considered permanent and require long-term hormone replacement. It remains unclear whether early diagnosis and novel targeted therapies can reverse these endocrine disorders. Therefore, the role of the endocrinologist role is critical in the diagnosis and management of these rare diseases.
