Langerhans cell histocytosis of the mandible in a pediatric patient

摘要

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare, proliferative disorder in which the accumulation of pathologic Langerhans cells leads to local tissue infiltration and destruction. In this article, a review of LCH is presented and a case of a single LCH lesion affecting the mandible of healthy infant is discussed. The history, radiological appearance, histopathology and treatment options are discussed.
