Langerhan's cell Histiocytosis (LCH)

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare histiocytic disorder most commonly characterized by single or multiple osteolytic bone lesions demonstrating infiltration with histiocytes having bean-shaped nuclei on biopsy with or without histiocytic infiltration of extraskeletal lesions (most notably the skin, lymph nodes, lungs, thymus, liver, spleen, bone marrow, or central nervous system).1
