title: Isolated Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the vulva: a case report.
abstract: We present a case of isolated vulval Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) that was initially treated with an excision biopsy but recurred 2 months later. Local vulval radiotherapy resulted in complete resolution of the lesion and there was no evidence of recurrence after 24 months of follow-up.
