abstract={Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) formerly known as histiocytosis X is rare spectrum of disease characterized by a monoclonal proliferation of bone marrow-derived Langerhans cells. LCH involves the head and neck region quite commonly, in particularly the bones of the skull and jaws. This is a case report of 14 years old female, presented with a complaint of intermittent abdominal pain, short stature and delayed puberty, which was subsequently presented with pain and swelling on left side upper premolar region with bleeding gums, which was finally histopathologically diagnosed as Langerhans cell histiocytosis following an incisional biopsy.},
