P. Stentella et al., LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS OF VULVA AND CERVIX IN A 19-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, Gynecologic and obstetric investigation, 44(1), 1997, pp. 67-69
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.
