  • Title: Epidural spinal cord compression in Langerhans cell histiocytosis: a case report.
    Author: Montemurro N, Perrini P, Vannozzi R.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2013 Dec; 27(6):838-9. PubMed ID: 23697765.
    Abstract:
    Langerhans cell histiocytosis, also known as histiocytosis X, is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytes. Spinal involvement in the course of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in adult is rare, and epidural location is exceptional. We present a rare case of epidural involvement by Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a 71-year-old man to highlight the importance of considering Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the differential diagnosis of epidural spinal cord compression.
