We present the case of a 62-year-old male patient with a three-month history of pain in the left shoulder. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left scapula showed an osteo-destructive lesion. H&E stained sections revealed a Langerhans cell sarcoma, and immunohistochemistry was performed additionally; CD68, CD163, CD14, fascin, HLA-DR, lysozyme, S100 CD1a and langerin showed a positive reaction, while CD20, CD30, CD34, CD31, pan-cytokeratin, AE/1AE3, SMA, desmin, EMA, ERG, INI-1, CD21, CD4, PLAP, MPO and CD117c were negative. We suggested palliative treatment with chemotherapy and radiation. The patient refused any treatment and died 2 weeks later.
