Oral mucosal lesions with transient self-healing of Langerhans cell histiocytosis: a case report

doi:10.7518/hxkq.2023.2023084

Abstract

Abstract:

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a group of unexplainable abnormal proliferation and aggregation of Langerhans cell. LCH can be classified into four clinical variants: Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease, eosinophilic granuloma, and congenital self-healing LCH. LCH is most prevalent in children. Lesions can be localized in a single system or multiple organs, and clinical manifestations vary depending on the affected organs. The skin and mucocutaneous tissues are the starting point of the affected tissue. This study presents a LCH case characterized by transient self-healing. This case can further provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of LCH.

Key words: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, self-healing, oral ulcer, diagnosis
