Letterer-Siwe disease, a proliferative disorder of Langerhans' cells, usually affects children during the first year of life. A 67-year-old woman is described here whose initial manifestation was a characteristic skin eruption. The clinical, pathologic, and ultrastructural features of Letterer-Siwe disease are reviewed and their role in diagnosis discussed.
