Abstract
Typically, soft-tissue involvement with Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is the result of extension from adjacent bone marrow. We presen t a patient who developed soft-tissue masses of LCH, which did not ari se as a result of extension from bone marrow, but instead produced ext rinsic cortical erosion, preserving the marrow signal on MRI.
