Polyostotic Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting as halitosis in a 24-year-old man: a case report
This reveals the vitality of the early diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis to prevent disease progression. Awareness of diverse and nonpathognomonic manifestations of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, proper medical interview and history taking, and the use of routine radiographs may aid clinicians in lowering morbidity and mortality rates associated with such conditions.
