Secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Case report, literature review

Abstract: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease of the myeloid precursor cells, it predominantly occurs in the skull and long bones as unifocal bone lesions. Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) are benign, expansive and lytic bone. Reports of secondary ABC occurring in LCH are rare, having only been reported twice in the skull. Here, we report the first case of LCH masquerading as ABC in a 14-month-old female child who presented with a rapidly growing mass in her left femur. The lesion had typical radiological f… Show more

“…Another differential diagnosis to consider is other giant cell lesions central giant‐cell granuloma (CGCG), peripheral giant‐cell granuloma (PGCG), Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and initial stages of cherubism. 5 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 As the management of these conditions is different, it is important to distinguish between them. Laboratory results differ between the different types of HPT.…”

“…Although this finding occasionally makes it difficult to differentiate LCH from aneurysmal bone cysts and cephalohematomas, perilesional bone marrow edema and enhancement can serve as clues for differentiating LCH from these differential diagnoses. Additionally, LCH lesions with FFLs are mainly reported in the craniofacial bones rather than in the appendicular bones [ 23 , 24 ]. These FFLs represent hemorrhage, which can be caused by trauma or can develop spontaneously.…”

“…11 Since that time, the understanding of LCH has grown exponentially through reported case series, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] including numerous descriptions of LCH presenting at soft tissue sites. 12,19,20 The disease is clinically heterogeneous and relatively uncommon. It is the most common of the dendritic cell neoplasms with an incidence of approximately 5 cases per 1 million population annually.…”
