Abstract
Introduction: A 27-year-old man presented due to unilateral leg pain. He had a history of diabetes insipidus and panhypopituitarism. Laboratory analysis revealed hormonal undersupply. MRI showed a large contrast medium-absorbing mass in the pituitary gland extending into the hypothalamus. FDG-PET/CT examination revealed a hypermetabolic soft tissue lesion around the left femoral shaft. After biopsy of the lesion, a diagnosis of multisystemic Langerhans cell histiocytosis was made.
