What is it about?
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterized by unifocal, multifocal single-system, or multi-system disease that occurs in all age groups, while it primarily attacks pediatric patients. Solitary gastrointestinal (GI) LCH in adults is exceedingly rare, so we aimed to investigate GI LCH in adults with unifocal single-system involvement and clarified the clinicopathologic characteristics of this disease.

Once the diagnosis of LCH is determined, on account of distinct treatment and prognosis for single-system or multisystem involvement, a careful clinical workup for each patient should be attentive to.
