| Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a clonal proliferative disorder of Langerhans
cells. Although LCH is not considered a malignant disease, its appearance on radiographs
may be similar to that of a malignant tumor. The diagnosis of LCH is usually
made by a soft tissue biopsy, or by bone marrow aspiration or curettage. We present
a patient with a mandibular mass confirmed to be LCH by US-guided core needle
biopsy, and present a strategy for diagnosing localized LCH of the bone based on the
usefulness and reliability of the percutaneous biopsy. |
