A case of langerhans cell histiocytosis in the frontal bone: Surgical and clinical perspectives

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This case report details the diagnosis and treatment of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) in the frontal bone of a 14-year-old male.The patient presented with a palpable swelling on the forehead, and subsequent imaging studies revealed significant bony destruction.Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LCH.A surgical resection was successfully performed, resulting in symptom resolution without recurrence at a six-month follow-up.This case points to the importance of considering LCH in differential diagnoses of cranial lesions in children, highlighting the successful role of surgical approaches in managing localized LCH.Multidisciplinary collaboration was crucial for early diagnosis and optimal outcomes in this uncommon pediatric condition.
