Abstract:
Background: Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis results from the abnormal clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. In adults, it most commonly presents in the form of Eosinophilic Granuloma, a focal osteolytic lesion.Case Report: A 51-year-old man with a history of cured Eosinophilic Granuloma of the mandible presented with otologic complaints. His physical examination was normal, but further imaging showed a temporal bone lesion, which was found to be a recurrence of the Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.Conclusion: Although the recurrence of eosinophilic granuloma is very rare, it is important to rule it out even in the context of a normal physical examination.
