description Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder most commonly involving skin, bone and lung. The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is an uncommon site of disease and only a handful of case reports exist. We present a case of a 15-year old boy with treated LCH involving the skin, bones, central nervous system (CNS) and pituitary gland. He presented with rectal bleeding and on investigation was found to have a single rectal polyp which was confirmed histologically and immunologically to be LCH. Further investigation revealed no other foci of disease.
