Abstract:
Congenital Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) usually manifests as a disease limited to the skin, with self-healing characteristics; however, in some cases, it may be a more severe entity, with multisystemic expression and poor prognosis. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with multisystemic congenital LCH, with the presence of the BRAF V600E mutation, with a severe form of the disease, with risk organ compromise, and manifestations of resistance to chemotherapy. This case is a challenge due to the disease's biologically aggressive behavior in this patient. It presents unique treatment difficulties as a result of inherent resistance to conventional therapy and uncertain response to BRAF inhibitors.
