BACKGROUND: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a proliferating disorder of Langerhans cells (LC) that are characterized by the presence of Birbeck granules. LCH has been considered to be a disease of childhood and there have been limited cases of adult LCH. We report here a fatal case of histiocytic tumor showing Langerhans cell phenotype, arising in the skin of a 74-year-old woman. METHOD: In addition to...
