Abstract

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease, and involvement of the atlas is extremely uncommon. Biopsy of atlas lesions is difficult and risky. In this case report, we describe the performance of percutaneous computed tomography-guided biopsy of an atlantal LCH in a patient with no complication.
