ORAL MANIFESTATIONS OF LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS - A CASE REPORT

Deep Shankar Pruthi, Puneet Nagpal, Uma Kumar

Abstract :

Langerhans cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of rare disorders histologically characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells. It may involve a single system or may have generalized systemic involvement. Most commonly there is bone involvement and, less frequently, lesions may be found in the lungs, liver, lymph nodes, skin, and mucosa. The diagnosis is tricky in such cases as it may mimic a lot of other conditions. We report a case of a 5 year old child presenting with oral manifestations of this disease who was managed with curettage followed by systemic therapy.
