Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of Langerhans cell histiocytosis include multiple osteolytic lesions causing full thickness bone destruction.[1][2]
CT Scan
- Head CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.[1][2]
- Findings on head CT scan suggestive of Langerhans cell histiocytosis include:
- Multiple osteolytic lesions
- Full thickness bone destruction
- “Button sequestrum” sign
