Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the atlas in a female adult

چکیده
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an infrequent disorder complex. It is a disease of myeloid dendritic cells, lymphocytes, and macrophages mixed with eosinophils and neutrophils [1]. The accumulation of these cells causes the classic lytic bone lesions, skin rashes, lymphadenopathy, and organ dysfunction. Langerhaus cell histocytosis occurs at all ages from infancy up to senility with the peak incidence between 2 and 4 years of age. The male/female ratio is about 3.7 : 1 [2]. We have recently treated a case of LCH of the atlas in a female adult, which may be the first Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the atlas in a female adult
