抄録

Langerhans’-cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a relatively rare proliferative disorder of Langerhans’ cells with unknown etiology 1~3). LCH can occur throughout the body, and cases have been reported in the skin, liver, spleen, lung, lymph nodes, and bone. We present a case of LCH in a 1-year-old boy who presented with fever and swelling of the right cheek. Radiographic examinations revealed expansion of the mandibular molar region with destruction of the cortex. Because such findings might mimic a malignant tumor, we made a clinical diagnosis of mandibular tumor. After confirming the pathological diagnosis, chemotherapy was performed according to the protocol of the Japan LCH study group. No recurrence was noted during a 3-year follow-up period. However, in infants, hypoplasia of the teeth can occur as a side effect of chemotherapy or a direct effect of the tumor itself. Long-term follow-up in cooperation with pediatricians and pedodontists is recommended for infants with LCH.
