ABSTRACT

Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis(LCH) is an uncommon, poorly understood granulomatous disease, characterized by the idiopathic proliferation of Langerhans cells or their marrow precursors. The head and neck, especially temporal bone are frequent sites of the lesion.

The anthers report a case of Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis, presenting as a chronic discharging ear with aural polyp in a 2-year-old child.
