Popis: The incidence of avascular necrosis in Hand-Schuller-Christian disease is very low. This paper reports one patient with avascular necrosis of the femoral head in Hand-Schuller-Christian disease.The patient was a 34-year-old woman, admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of pain at her left hip. Roentgenograms revealed the collapse and deformity of the left femoral head and a round lytic lesion in the central area of the femoral head.The single-assembly total hip replacement was performed in April, 1986. The histological findings of the femoral head showed the subchondral bone necrosis and the typical cellular composition of histiocytes with eosinophils in the central lesion of the femoral head.
