Abstract

Langerhans' cell histiocytosis is a disorder in children or young adults, characterized by clonal proliferation of histiocytic cells, staining for CD1a, with uni or multifocal organ involvement. It's a rare condition in adults. We report a case of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in an adult with sclerosing cholangitis which rapidly progressed to fatal liver failure and progressive cerebellar atrophy. Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare cause of sclerosing cholangititis in adults.
