Abstract
Three cases of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (histiocytosis X) are re ported in which the clinical presentations were (1) soft-tissue enlarg ements, (2) oral ulcerations, and (3) leukoplakia. Each case was witho ut bone involvement at the time of diagnosis, and two patients were ol der than 60 years of age. Definitive diagnoses were aided with the use of immunohistochemistry.
