Introduction: The annual incidence of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is 5 per million in admission with a diagnosis of isolated central diabetes insipidus (CDI) in children under the age of 15. Here, the process leading to the diagnosis of LCH at presentation with isolated CDI, imaging findings, and the sellar erosion, which has not been previously reported in the literature, will be discussed.Case presentation: A 4-year-5-month-old...

Introduction: Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

This syndrome is characterized by proliferative lesions in various tissues, including the thyroid gland, breast, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, and endometrium. We present a patient who initially presented with a breast mass an...
