Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a
rare disease characterized by the proliferation of
Langerhans cells and the destruction of local
tissue. LCH large occurs in
children, whilst
incidence of the
elderly population is extremely low, and there are few related studies. LCH lesions can involve multiple organs and systems, including
bone tissue,
lymph nodes,
skin,
liver, and
spleen. However, it is rare that multiple soft
tissues are implicated for eldly
patients with LCH and present with soft
tissue mass as the main manifestation. Here is a
report on the clinical features,
treatment and
prognosis of an
elderly LCH with multiple soft
tissue masses as the main manifestation, in order to provide clinical reference.
