Pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma mimicking pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis in a young adult presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax: a potential diagnostic pitfall

We present a case of a histiocytic sarcoma incidentally detected in peripheral lung tissue resected for a spontaneous pneumothorax. Furthermore, we discuss the practical approach to pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, the main differential diagnosis of this lesion in the lung, based on morpholo...
