【 摘 要 】

Langerhans cells histiocytosis is a dendritic cell disorder, result of clonal proliferation of this type of cells, morphologically rounded and immature immunophenotypically and functionally; associated with eosinophils, macrophages, lymphocytes and giant multinucleated cells at times. It can present monosystemic, affecting a single site or organ; or multisystemic disease when present in multiple organs or body systems. Medical literature and publications in which imaging is associated with the study and characterization of hematological diseases are scarce, even in the technological era. This paper presents a case of Langerhans cells histiocytosis that was followed imaging during 3 years with the subsequent support to diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and evaluation; demonstrating the usefulness of imaging as tool to achieve better patient management and as a principle of multidisciplinary medical care.
