Description

We present one case of bone-Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a three-year-old male child presenting osseous lesions in the skull and the femur, which are very frequent localizations in histiocytosis. Bone scintigraphy is useful for both initial staging and follow-up associated with other imaging modalities. (authors)
