Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the female genital tract is a rare disease. A clinical diagnosis is impossible to establish because no typical lesions are found. Immunohistochemistry of bioptic samples is the easier technique to obtain the correct diagnosis. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman with Langerhans cell histiocytosis of mandible and maxilla with subsequent cervical and vulvar histiocytosis.

Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the female genital tract is a rare disease. A clinical diagnosis is impossible to establish because no typical lesions are found. Immunohistochemistry of bioptic samples is the easier technique to obtain the correct diagnosis. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman with Langerhans cell histiocytosis of mandible and maxilla with subsequent cervical and vulvar histiocytosis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
