Case Presentation: In this report, a case of an 18 year old male patient with multifocal lesions of EG in both jaws is presented. Conclusions: Although LCH remains an enigma for clinicians to date because of its ambiguous presentations, but timelydiagnosis could be critical for prognosis. And dentists could have an important role in diagnosis of rare disorders like EG.
