Abstract

Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) is a highly malignant neoplasm exhibiting aggressive clinical behavior. In this study, we aimed to explore the current status and trends of research on LCS by doing a bibliometric analysis. Data on LCS were retrieved from the Web of Science database and a bibliometric analysis was conducted to measure the impact of publications, authors, organizations, and countries. Different software packages, including BiblioAnalytics, Bibliomaster, MS Excel, MS Access, VOSviewer, Biblioshiny, Power BI, and an online visualization platform were used for analysis and visualization in the present study. A total of 96 publications were included in the present bibliometric analysis. Authors “Lebbe C”, “Lorillon G”, “Mourah S”, and “Tazi A” received the highest number of citations, and the journal “Histopathology” received the highest number of citations. The outstanding organization was the Mayo Clinic in the USA with the highest number of 5 publications and the highest number of 175 citations. Japan and the USA were the outstanding countries that contributed to the research on LCS. Current literature on LCS is minimal, which stresses the need for more research productivity, especially within areas regarding diagnosis and immunohistochemical staining with CD markers for this pathology.
