Isolated rib involvement is one of the rarest sites for the clinical presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). We report here on the case of 29-year-old female whose only symptom was pain, radiating to the solitary osteolytic lesion at the posterolateral aspect of her seventh rib. The 7th rib was resected for diagnostic confirmation and treatment, and histopathological findings were found to be compatible with the LCH.
