Abstract

In younger patients of LCH, we should consider that the effectiveness of follow-up without aggressive treatment for SS-type LCH in the oral and maxillofacial bone. However, there are very rare case in which an SS-type LCH recurred after showing a healing tendency. Regular follow-up must be performed even after healing.
