Abstract

We report the case of a 62 year old women with chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis who developed acute lymphadenopathy. At the same time diabetes insipidus, osteolytic bone lesions and exanthema of the skin were diagnosed. Suspected Langerhans cell histiocytosis could be proven by repeated biopsies of affected organs. Therapy was started in accordance with the recommendations of the Histiocyte Society.
