LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS PRESENTING AS MASSIVE CERVICAL LYMPHADENOPATHY – A RARE CASE REPORT

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a dendritic cell disease. It is classified into two types: localized or disseminated. It is a rare disease with varied clinical presentation. Presentation with cervical lymphadenopathy is not common. Herein we are presenting a case of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) in a 21 years old male patient. He presented with bilateral massive cervical lymphadenopathy since 1 year and not having any other complain. Various diagnostic modalities are available like fin e needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), imaging studies, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), histopathological examination and electron microscopy, although diagnosis should be confirmed by histopathological examination of biopsy specimen because it is the gold standard for final diagnosis
