Description Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare idiopathic disease with diverse clinical manifestations ranging from a single osteolytic lesion to generalized disease. Various treatment regimens have been proposed for the multisystem type, however, with inconsistent outcomes. Herein we are the first to report on a therapy effect of a lenalidomide-based regimen in a patient with repeatedly relapsed aggressive form of multisystem LCH.
