Abstract A 56‐year‐old male complained of chronic oral ulcers. Initial workup revealed diffuse alveolar bone destruction and other systemic disturbances including diabetes insipidus. Biopsy suggested histiocytosis X and further tests verified the diagnosis. A clinical differential diagnosis is developed, follow‐up is presented and the entities comprising histiocytosis X are discussed.
