Discussion Langerhans' cell histocytosis (incisional biopy of mandible)

Imaging findings:
About 2.5cm measured multiloculated radiolucent lesion of mandible posterior body and angle (left).

Review
Langerhans cell histocytosis
idopathic proliferation of histiocytes leads to local tissue infiltration and destruction
*3 classic syndrome
1) Eosinophilic granuloma(70%):localized benign form, isolated to bone, often monostotic
2) Hand-Schuller-Christian disease(20%) chronic form, multiple bone lesion
triad : skull lesion, exophthalmos, diabetes insipidus
3) Letterer-Siwe disease(10%): acute form, multi-organ involvement, poor prognosis
most often in children under 15 years of age
M > F
local pain, tenderness, palpable mass
location:
flat bone(70%) : skull(calvaria > base), mandible(body, angle),rib, pelvis, scapula, clavicle
long bone(30%) : femur(m/c), humerus, tibia
spine(9%) : vertebral body, thoracic > lumbar > cervical
imaging appearance: well defined or poorly defined osteolytic lesion with or without
sclerotic rim
* Mandible: destruction of alveolar bone, erosion of the lamina dura surrounding the tooth ?밼loating tooth?
