Abstract:We present a young man with the classical features of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), with emphasis on his disability and demonstrate his dramatic response to Etoposide when other treatments had clearly failed. We review the literature regarding oral and bone involvement in this disease and relate it to long term prognosis.

The evaluation of our clinical study suggests that LCH is a disease that should be treated surgically. Only in very severe cases should the surgical treatment be complimented by either radiotherapy or chemotherapy. In disseminated cases, especially chemotherapy seems to improve the outcome. Surgery offers the possibility of eliminating systemic side effects.
