TI  - The Role of a Bone SPECT/CT Scan in the Follow-up of a Solitary 
Bone Lesion in a Patient with Langerhans’ Cell Histiocytosis
AB  - Langerhans’ cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease observed in childhood characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans’ cells resulting in 
focal or systemic manifestations (including the bones). Here, we present a pediatric case with a localized biopsy-proven LCH, who underwent 
progression from solitary to multifocal form detected on bone scintigraphy and single photon emission computerized tomography/computed 
tomography (SPECT/CT) performed within four months. Emphasizing on localized bone pain (predictive of osseous LCH) and local tenderness 
and swelling usually guides the nuclear physician to perform additional SPECT/CT with presumably an improvement of the diagnostic accuracy as 
demonstrated in our case
