We report on the thyroid involvement with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in a 3‐year‐old male. The patient presented with goiter and primary hypothyroidism. His goiter caused life‐threatening airway obstruction. He developed locally invasive disease 4 years after his response to LCH therapy. LCH should be suspected as a cause of goiter and thyroidectomy is recommended. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2008;50:726–727. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
