Langerhans´cells histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease, in which the proliferation of Langerhans´ cells is believed to be causative, affecting

mainly children. The etiology still remains unclear. The head and neck region is frequently involved, the skull being the most often

diseased site, especially the temporal bone. It may affect also another organs and systems with single or multiple osseal or extraosseal

lesions. LCH can be challenging to diagnose with it´s varied presentations, which may resemble another common diseases. We present

a case report of an adult patient who has been treated for recurrent otorhea resistent to usual treatment.

Keywords: Langerhans´cells histiocytosis in adults, temporal bone, external otitis
