Abstract

Nasal bone involvement of Langerhans cell histiocytosis is rarely reported. Here we present a case of a 13-year-old boy with a palpable nasal mass. Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic mass on the left side of the nose. Both CT scanning and MRI showed an osteolytic mass. The lesion seen on MRI was well-defined mass with homogeneous enhancement. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of LCH.

코뼈에 발생하는 랑게르한스 세포 조직구증 증례는 거의 보고된 적이 없다. 저자들은 왼쪽 코에 만져지는 종괴를 주소로 내원한 13세 환자를 검사하였다. 초음파 검사상 코 좌측에 저음영 에코를 보이는 종괴가 관찰되었다. 자기공명영상 검사에서 경계가 분명하면서 비교적 균질한 조영증강을 보이는 종괴가 관찰되었다. 조직병리학적 검사에서 검체는 랑게르한스 세포 조직구증으로 확인되었다.
