Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is known as one of the diseases related to excessive proliferation of normal monocytes and has the variety of clinical courses and treatment. Especially, in cases with the spine, it shows a feature of single or multiple osteolysis. According to the location, disease progression and concomitant symptom, variety of treatments (observation, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, etc.) have been attempted, however, appropriate treatment has not been established yet. The authors introduce the case of single system Langerhans cell histiocytosis which involves cervical and lumbar vertebrae simultaneously with bone marrow destruction and pathologic fracture.
