Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis corresponds a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by monoclonal dendritic cells proliferation, it predominates in childhood which may affect any organ of the body. The case reports of a female patient, aged 44, presentingthick plates with scales adhering to the hairs, scalp located, similar to seborrheic dermatitis, besides fistulas in axillas, inguinal and infra mammary regions. The hypothesis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was confirmed by cutaneous biopsy and immunohistochemistry. Systemical investigation accused pulmonary involvement. Until now are few publications about adult cutaneous cases, so none treatment protocols are avaible for them. More specific studies are demanded for better management of these patients.
