Thymic involvement with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) typically occurs in children as part of multi-system (M-S) LCH. Patients who develop skin-only LCH during infancy may either follow a self-healing course with spontaneous regression or may progress to M-S involvement. We describe a male infant who developed isolated thymic LCH after spontaneous complete regression of isolated cutaneous lesions. His erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein increased temporarily during the skin-only stage of LCH, and increased again considerably during the thymic relapse. Even for patients with skin-only LCH, these laboratory data might indicate possible relapse or late progression of the disease.
