Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the female genital tract is a rare di sease. A clinical diagnosis is impossible to establish because no typi cal lesions are found. Immunohistochemistry of bioptic samples is the easier technique to obtain the correct diagnosis. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman with Langerhans cell histiocytosis of mandible an d maxilla with subsequent cervical and vulvar histiocytosis.
