Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
We report the case of a 57 year old man who presented with increased shortness of breath together with increased pulmonary nodules in his upper lobes over a two year period. His strong smoking history and pattern of distribution makes Langerhans cell Histiocytosis a likely diagnosis that was confirmed on biopsy.
