Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplastic disorder marked by the uncontrolled proliferation and accumulation of immature myeloid dendritic cells, which originate from the bone marrow. Although LCH can involve various organs, including bone, lymph nodes and skin, multi‑system bone, liver and lung involvement with LCH is rare in adults. A case of a 49‑year‑old man diagnosed with multi‑system, aggressive LCH involving bone, skin, lung and liver is presented in the present study. The initial radio‑clinic presentation of the patient was initially suggestive of a bone tumor. The current case report aims to draw attention to this rare disease and discuss the diagnostic approach and therapeutic management, which should be noted to help physicians more rapidly identify, diagnose and treat comparable cases.
