Spinal localizations of Langerhans cell histiocytosis have been rarely described and they are usually characterized by involvement of vertebral bodies with osteolytic lesions. Our case presented with several unusual features that delayed the diagnosis, including the age of patient and the involvement of left T10 costovertebral junction with relative sparing of vertebral body and costal bone. The clues for diagnosis were represented by increased signal intensity both on
