Abstract:
:Histiocytosis X of the lung is associated with bone lesions in 4 to 20%. We report a case in which the diagnosis was missed in spite of repeated bronchoscopies with transbronchial lavage. The diagnosis was finally established by isotope bone scan, subsequent skeletal CT-scan and bone biopsy.
