Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease caused by uncontrolled proliferation and accumulation of immature bone marrow-derived myeloid dendritic cells. It is common in the pediatric population under 15 years of age and usually affects bones such as the skull, femur and mandibular body. This study presents the case of a 6-year-old female patient, with a bone lesion in the right mandibular ramus and condyle at an unusual location. A sample of the pathological tissue was taken by intraoral endoscopy to avoid comorbidities and esthetic sequelae. After a joint medical evaluation, the lesion was diagnosed as a monofocal LCH with special site involvement, establishing a single systemic treatment with indomethacin, as opposed to the chemotherapy regimen recommended by the International Histiocyte Society, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the latter. Two months after the beginning of the pharmacological treatment, reosification of the affected area was observed, with no recurrences after the end of the treatment.

“…En la HCL, el maxilar y la mandíbula se ven afectados en el 10 % de los casos y tiene una fuerte predilección por la mandíbula. La imagen radiológica de "dientes flotantes" es típica y se puede observar en una ortopantomografía 2,5 . El diagnóstico diferencial de esta enfermedad suele incluir periodontitis crónica generalizada, granuloma periapical, quistes periapicales, osteomielitis, mieloma múltiple, metástasis, tumores odontogénicos (ameloblastoma) y patología periodontal (gingivitis y periodontitis) 5 .…”

“…El examen no reveló lesiones hipermetabólicas sugestivas de afectación tumoral macroscópica a nivel mandibular o maxilar, ni en otras localizaciones. El caso se presentó en el comité de cáncer de cabeza y cuello y se rechazó el tratamiento con quimioterapia o radioterapia porque no presentaba extensión a otros órganos, se consideró HCL crónica multifocal y la bibliografía publicada recomendaba un seguimiento estrecho en las consultas en estos casos [3][4][5] .…”
