Abstract

The standard evaluation of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) includes a clinical evaluation, laboratory tests and a skeleton/skull X-ray survey, with chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the case of pulmonary involvement. Preliminary reports suggest that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) may be useful for evaluating patients with LCH.
