Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a type of cancer that can damage tissue or cause lesions to form in one or more places in the body. Family history of cancer or having a parent who was exposed to certain chemicals may increase the risk of LCH. The signs and symptoms of LCH depend on where it is in the body.
