Case 13-2003: A 14-month-old boy with hepatomegaly, perianal lesions, and a bony lump on the forehead

Article Abstract:

The clinical feature of a 14-month-old boy's disease is most characteristic of Langerhans'-cell histiocytosis, with a systemic presentation that is characteristic of Letterer-Siwe disease. For the patient's deteriorating clinical status and the need to rule out a malignant tumor in the abdomen, exploratory and a biopsy of the retroperitoneal mass is a reasonable alternative.
