Abstract
Langerhans’ Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is an uncommon hematological disorder characterized by abnormal proliferation of langerhans like cells or their precursors. It commonly affects infants and children. Head and neck lesions are common at initial presentation. In the jaws, LCH may cause bony swelling, soft tissue mass, gingivitis, bleeding gingiva, pain and ulceration. Loosening or sloughing of the teeth often occurs after destruction of alveolar bone. In this report, we present a LCH in a 14 years old child admitted to our clinic with a complaint of pain in posterior mandible with its conventional radiographs and cone beam computed tomography findings.

Abstract
Langerhans hücresi histiositozisi (LHH), langerhans benzeri hücreler veya onların öncülerinin anormal proliferasyonu ile karakterize nadir görülen bir hematolojik hastalıktır. Sıklıkla bebekleri ve çocukları etkiler. Genelde baş boyun lezyonları hastalığın ilk başlarında izlenir. Çenelerde LHH, kemik şişliklerine, yumuşak doku kitlelerine, gingivitise, dişeti kanamasına, ağrıya ve ülserasyonlara neden olur. Alveolar kemikte yıkım sonrası sıklıkla dişlerde yer değiştirme ve diş kayıpları izlenir. Bu çalışmada, kliniğimize sol alt posterior bölgede ağrı şikayeti ile başvuran ve LHH tanılı 14 yaşındaki erkek hasta çene lezyonları açısından konvansiyonel ve konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) görüntüleri ile birlikte sunulmaktadır.
