Diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a patient with vertebral lytic lesion and low back pain

Abstract

The identification of lytic vertebral lesions on magnetic resonance imaging usually points to tumor metastasis in adults. We present a 47-year-old female complaining of back pain who had palpable breast mass and a vertebral lytic lesion on magnetic resonance imaging. Detailed investigation yielded the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis rather than tumor metastasis.
