- Abstract
We report the case of a 6-month-old Hispanic boy with a 4-month history of widespread pruritic hypopigmented papules mimicking lichen nitidus. The final diagnosis was multisystem non-risk-organ Langerhans cell histiocytosis ( LCH), with cutaneous and multiple bone involvement. With this patient and others previously reported in the literature, we suggest an early biopsy of the hypopigmented rash in children.
