AbstractThis report highlights the uncommon disease of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the context of nontraumatic back pain. Langerhans cell histiocytosis has a broad range of presentations and should be borne in mind in many differential diagnoses in the emergency and general practice setting. Back pain in children, contrary to back pain in adults, is frequently the result of a treatable organic pathology and should be assessed thoroughly before a diagnosis of nonspecific or mechanical back pain is made.
