Abstract
Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) refers to a non- neoplastic proliferation of Langerhans cells with an incidence in the adult population of 1–2 per million. It is considered a pediatric disease, and while rib involvement is very rare, we report here on a 33- year-old patient with LCH located in the rib.
Özet
Langerhans Hücreli Histiyositoz (LCH), Langerhans hücrelerinin neoplastik olmayan bir proliferasyonu- dur. Erişkinlerde insidansı milyonda 1-2 'dir. Pediatrik bir hastalık olarak kabul edilir. Kot tutulumu çok nadirdir. Çalışmamızda, kotta yerleşim gösteren 33 yaşındaki LCH olgusunu sunuyoruz.
