Localized Acral Sclerosing Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis: A New Form of Presentation of Cutaneous Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

We report the first case of a localized acral sclerosing LCH, a new form of LCH. This case highlights the broad and surprising form of presentation of LCH which may be overlooked and can significantly delay its diagnosis. The development of systemic disease may occur months to years after the initial skin presentation. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may prevent progression to systemic disease, as documented in some cases.
