Iodopovidone pleurodesis for isolated pulmonary Langerhan's cell histiocytosis in a two year old child.
Isolated pulmonary involvement in Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is rare in childhood. The authors report a 2-y-old boy who presented with acute history of fever, cough and respiratory distress; later developed pneumothorax; whose CT thorax showed diffuse pulmonary cystic lucencies bilaterally. Lung biopsy confirmed pulmonary LCH with CD1a positivity. Recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces are common in patients of pulmonary LCH; which necessitates rapid intervention. The authors share their experience of successfully using iodopovidone in pleurodesis for repeated pneumothorax episodes in this child with rare diagnosis of isolated pulmonary LCH.
