We present a case of mandibular involvement with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), diagnosed by ultrasound-guided aspiration and subsequently confirmed by incisional biopsy and immunohistochemistry in an eight-year-old boy. The cytologic findings included the presence of characteristic Langerhans cells of both mononucleate and multinucleate form. Diagnostic confirmation was obtained by immunopositivity for S-100 protein and CD1a of Langerhans histiocytes on paraffin-embedded sections obtained during incisional biopsy of the right mandibular area. By reporting a case of childhood LCH, we correlate the cytologic findings with histologic features and discuss the role of aspiration cytologic diagnosis in such a rare and cytomorphologically characteristic case.

Abstract PDF: A case of desmoplastic fibroma of mandible in a 18 years old woman is presented. She had complained progressive swelling of right mandible for 4 years. Radiographically, a multilocular radiolucent of right hemimandibulectomy showed multinodular external surface without cortical destruction. Cut surfaces revealed grayish white, fibrous homogeneous appearance with firm consistency, sparing head portion. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 13 cm. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of interlacing bundles of monomorphic spindle-shaped cells with abundant intercellular collagen. Ultrastructurally, most tumor cells were fibroblastic-like cells with abundant RER and cytoplasmic fibrils, but a few disclosed transition to myofibroblasts. However, no fully developed myofibroblasts were seen.
