Abstract:
A 12-year-old boy presented with an increasing painful swelling of the skull. Physical examination revealed in the left parieto-occipital region a skin-coloured solid mass of 2-3 cm in diameter. The X-ray of the skull was highly suspicious for Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Histopathology of a biopsy of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis.
