title: [Langerhans's cell histiocytosis in otorhinolaryngology].
abstract: Langerhans's cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an uncommon disease characterized by an accumulation of abnormal histiocytes, together lymphocytes and eosinophils in various organs and tissues. The head and neck are frequent sites of initial presentation. We present two cases of LCH with otorhinolaryngologic symptoms. Current recommendations for diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of LCH are also discussed.
