Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder characterized by an abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cells. We report the case of a 16-month-old girl presenting with diffuse papulo-crusted skin lesions associated with splenomegaly and hematological abnormalities. Histological examination and immunohistochemistry (CD1a, S100) confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of considering LCH in the presence of atypical cutaneous lesions in children in order to ensure prompt and appropriate management.
