ABSTRACT
This article reports a case of 65 year-old man consulted in a private radiology dental clinic for a panoramic radiography, where was indicated a radiolucent area, extending into the periapical region of the teeth 35 to 43 to the base of the mandible. Radiography diagnosis was difficult. The immunohistochemical examination showed immunoreactivity for the proteins CD 68, S-100 and CD 1a. Histopathological diagnosis was obtained for Langerhans cell granuloma (histiocytosis X). Langerhans cell histiocytosis is caused by the abnormal proliferation of histiocytes, previously called Histiocytosis X. It is a rare disease that preferentially affects children and young adults with a predilection for males and can affect different parts of the body.
RESUMO
Este artigo relata o caso de um homem de 65 anos que procurou uma clínica de radiologia dental particular para a realização de uma radiografia panorâmica. Foi detectada uma área radiolúcida na região apical dos dentes 35 a 43 que se estendia até a base da mandíbula. O exame imunoistoquimico da lesão mostrou proteínas reativas como a CD 68, S-100 e CD 1a. O diagnóstico do histopatológico foi de Granuloma de Células de Langerhans (Histiocitose X). A Histiocitose das células de Langerhans é causada pela proliferação anormal de histiócitos. É uma doença rara que preferencialmente acomete crianças e adultos jovens e tem predileção pelo sexo masculino, podendo afetar diferentes partes do corpo.
