[Thirst and extensive bone lesions in a previously basically healthy woman].
A previously quite healthy 65-year-old woman sought emergency hospital care due to fatigue, weight loss and sensation of thirst appearing over a couple of months. Further analysis revealed a process affecting the neurohypophysis and extensive lytic sclerotic bone lesions. Eventually a rare generalized underlying disease was unraveled: the diagnosis included both Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester disease.
