Class I Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is described in a two‐ and a half‐year‐old male. The initial expression of the disease was conspicuous by the presence of extensive pustular crusted rash and, later in its course, by purpura, diabetes insipidus, otitis media, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and infiltration into the lungs. The patient expired due to extensive hemorrhage over 24 hours.
