Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a histiocytic neoplasm characterized by clonal proliferation of Langerhans type cells, a normal antigen presenting cells. It most commonly affects children, with an annual incidence of 2–5 cases per million inhabitants, it is extremely rare in adults. Herein we are reporting a case of LCH in 37 year old male which was initially diagnosed by FNAC and confirmed by histopathology and IHC performed later on.
