| Popis: | Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) of the female genital tract is very rare. A review of the literature revealed that only 12 cases of primary vulvar LCH have previously been published. We describe an additional case of LCH in which the disease was confined to the vulva. A 64-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a nodular mass on her left labium minus, and complete surgical excision was performed. On histological and immunohistochemical examination, the tumor fulfilled the criteria of LCH. A metastatic workup did not reveal any evidence of disease beyond the vulva. The patient received local radiotherapy, and 22 months later she is in excellent condition without local recurrence or metastatic disease. |
