ABSTRACT
A 37 year old man presented with recurrent secondarily generalized seizures from right partial onset since December 1999, MRI scan of brain (contrast study) revealed multiple enhancing lesions predominantly involving frontal, parietal and temporal regions. Left frontotemporal lesion was biopsied and histopathology confirmed it to be rare case of adult Langerhans cell histiocytosis. He was given short course of oral corticosteroids. Two years postoperative course on antiepileptic therapy alone is uneventful and repeat MRI brain and MR spectroscopy showed significant resolution of lesions.
