Abstract:
Among the several forms of Langerhans cell histocytosis (LCH), Letterer-Siwe disease is the most acute disseminated multisystemic variant. The course of Letterer-Siwe disease is usually rapid and fatal. We report here a cases of Letterer-Siwe disease which showed a good response to chemotherapy. We also describe the unusual ultrastructural findings in the histiocyte-like cells in this case.
