Involvement of thyroid gland by LCH is exceedingly rare. Herein, we present a case of LCH involving the thyroid in a 38-year-old woman. Our patient presented clinically as a case of primary thyroid neoplasm. Presence of elongated, epithelioid neoplastic cells with grooved nuclei along with presence of background eosinophils were seen on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histopathology. Positive staining for CD1a and S100 immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of LCH. Patient was given combination chemotherapy and has responded well to the same without any complaints for last 6 months. With this report, our goal is to expand awareness of this rare tumor in the thyroid. Consideration at the time of FNAC and its correct diagnosis on subsequent excision is imperative for patient management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijc.ijc_608_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]],"date-time":"2024-04-10T06:28:11Z","timestamp":1712730491000},"page":"115-118","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Langerhans cell histiocytosis of thyroid: Case report with review of literature"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Subhash C.","family":"Yadav","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Pathology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Munita","family":"Bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Pathology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asawari","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Pathology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-011-0321-8","article-title":"Solitary Langerhans histiocytosis of the thyroid gland: A case report and literature review","volume":"6","author":"Patten","year":"2012","journal-title":"Head Neck Pathol"},{"key":"R2-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anndiagpath.2005.05.002","article-title":"Langerhans cell histiocytosis presenting as a thyroid gland mass","volume":"9","author":"Elliott","year":"2005","journal-title":"Ann Diagn Pathol"},{"key":"R3-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"901","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-007-0487-y","article-title":"Thyroid involvement in Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A report of two cases and review of the literature","volume":"166","author":"Ya ci","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr"},{"key":"R4-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2014-12-569301","article-title":"How I treat langerhans cell histiocytosis","volume":"126","author":"Allen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"R5-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e7954","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000007954","article-title":"Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid complicated by papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report and brief literature review","volume":"96","author":"Wu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)"},{"key":"R6-20250603","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"805","DOI":"10.1159\/000328565","article-title":"Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid gland.
