Description
Summary:	Head CT revealed an osteolytic lesion in the right frontal and zygomatic bones (figure 2A–E). Staging investigations, including whole-body CT and bone scans, were performed, but no evidence of distant disease involvement was found. The natural form of LCH varies, ranging from a slow, benign, localised bony or soft tissue lesion to a rapidly progressive, widespread, multisystemic fatal disorder.
