[Langerhans-cell histiocytosis of the vulva. General review and a case history].
Localisation of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (HCL) is rare. In solitary form the prognosis for this pathology is good, if the tumour occurs in a woman of 36 years of age. (In this case the woman's age was 91) The appearances may be misleading clinically. The diagnosis is made by histological examination of P-S 100 positive cells and by finding Birbeck's granules on electron microscopy. Treatment may be surgical or as in our case medical.
