The first patient is a 2-year-old white female who was admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHP) in July 1984 with a 1-month history of recurrent, rightsided otitis media. During the second episode, a reddish discharge was noted in the external ear canal, and a greyish lump appeared behind the affected right ear. The lump enlarged progressively and became purple. The parents also noted that she had recently had a transient limp involving the left hip. Physical examination revealed a well-looking child with a 1.0-X-0.5-cm firm, subcutaneous mass behind the right ear with an associated underlying body defect. The ear canal was obscured by a dark red discharge. There was slight limitation of abduction of the left hip, although the gait was normal. Plain roentgenograms showed punched-out, lytic lesions of the right mastoid, temporal, and petrous bones, the left pubic ramus, and the right lateral third rib. Blood counts, liver enzymes, and urinalysis were normal. Biopsy of the mastoid lesion was performed, but complete curettage was deferred because the facial nerve could not be well identified. Light microscopy showed a histiocytic infiltrate with eosinophils, lymphocytes, and multinucleated giant cells, consistent with histiocytosis X (HX). Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of Langerhans cell granules. Radiation, a dose of 600 rad in four 150-rad fractions, was directed to the cranial lesion only, to arrest the process and thus prevent damage to the facial nerve and auditory apparatus. Roentgenograms taken 2 months later showed early sclerosis and healing of all three areas (treated and untreated) to an equal degree.
