Abstract
• A case of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis with unusual skin manifestations in the form of multiple large skin tumors is described. The skin lesions responded partially to chemotherapy with etoposide and prednisone, and residual lesions were excised surgically. The patient developed central diabetes insipidus during treatment.
