Abstract
Langerhans histiocytosis is the recent term used for the complex syndrome consisting of three sub types 1. Eosinophilic granuloma, 2. Hand-Schuller Christian disease and 3. Letterer-siwe disease. The clinical manifestations vary with each entity. Although rare, radiological findings present a typical pattern. Advanced Imaging adds to the plain film diagnosis.
