Abstract

The sonographic (US) findings of unifocal Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the occiput are described. The patient was a 3 year‐old girl who presented with a painful soft tissue mass on the scalp. US demonstrated a large soft tissue mass with destruction of the underlying bone. The mass extended through the bony defect and consisted of a solid intracranial component and a predominantly cystic extracranial component. US is not usually associated with the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis but in this case it provided valuable information that led to the primary differential diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, which was confirmed by bone biopsy at surgery.

Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by an accumulation and/or proliferation of cells with a Langerhans' cell (LC) phenotype. The aetiology and pathogenesis of LCH are unknown; it is suggested that LCH is caused by an immunological dysregulation. Production of cytokines is a central

Six children received etoposide as the single agent for treatment of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH; histiocytosis X). Five were less than 2 years old at diagnosis. All had multiorgan involvement; one had liver and pulmonary dysfunction. Two infants also had clinical signs of immune deficiency.

Sixty-four patients with biopsy-proven Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH, formerly designated as histiocytosis X) were managed at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from 1970 through 1984. Their median age was 3 yr (range, 0.1-22 yr). Thirty-three patients had localized lesions affecting a bo
