Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) refers to a non-neoplastic proliferation of Langerhans cells with an incidence in the adult population of 1–2 per million. It is considered a pediatric disease, and while rib involvement is very rare, we report here on a 33-year-old patient with LCH located in the rib.
