Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease marked by the proliferation of Langerhans cells and the destruction of tissue. LCH can be limited to the oral cavity where it can present with gingival bleeding, swelling, tooth mobility and bone loss. This case report describes a 13-year-old male with LCH who presented with a one-month history of painful jaw swelling. Clinical examination revealed a firm, ulcerated mass adjacent to the mandibular right second premolar. Biopsy and subsequent histopatho- logic examination confirmed LCH. The lesion resolved spontaneously post-biopsy and the patient remains disease-free. Recognizing oral manifestations of LCH in dental practice is crucial for prompt diagnosis, appropriate multidisciplinary management and improving the survival rates and future quality of life for children with LCH.
期刊介绍：
Acquired after the merger between the American Society of Dentistry for Children and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry in 2002, the Journal of Dentistry for Children (JDC) is an internationally renowned journal whose publishing dates back to 1934. Published three times a year, JDC promotes the practice, education and research specifically related to the specialty of pediatric dentistry. It covers a wide range of topics related to the clinical care of children, from clinical techniques of daily importance to the practitioner, to studies on child behavior and growth and development. JDC also provides information on the physical, psychological and emotional conditions of children as they relate to and affect their dental health.
