Abstract
Congenital self-healing Langerhans cell histiocytosis (CSHLCH) is a rare variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, presenting at birth or in the neonatal period with cutaneous lesions that involute spontaneously. Affected infants are otherwise well with no systemic illness. A case of CSHLCH, probably the first case report from India, is described. The patient presented on the third day of life with multiple papulonodular lesions over the body, with no systemic involvement. The lesions spontaneously regressed by 6 months of age, with no evidence of relapse at 1 year of age. Although CSHLCH is a benign and self-limited condition, long-term follow-up for evidence of relapse is emphasized.
