Abstract
Histiocytic sarcoma is an extremely rare malignant neoplastic proliferation of the haematopoietic cells. Very few cases have been reported in the paediatric age group. Imaging features have been rarely described in the literature. It can involve any region of the body; however, it most commonly involves the lymph nodes. Its imaging appearance can mimic lymphoproliferative disorders; however, with the advent of new immunohistochemical markers, the diagnosis of HS has become more reliable. We report an unusual case of primary bone involvement by HS with multiple lesions in the facial bones of a 2-year-old female who presented with tooth and mandibular tenderness.Entities:
