BACKGROUND Langerhans cell sarcoma(LCS)is a rare malignancy with poor prognosis.LCS and chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma(SLL)can occur in the same diseased tissues,such as lymph nodes or skin.CASE SUMMARY A 48-year-old female Han Chinese patient was admitted for generalized lymph node enlargement for 6 years and abdominal distension for 1 wk.She was diagnosed with small B-cell lymphoma(stage IV)/CLL(Benet stage B)and received chemotherapy.She started oral ibrutinib in February 2019.She was hospitalized on June 11,2019,and a 1.5 cm×1.5 cm dark-red nodule with ulceration scalp lesion was found.Biopsy revealed LCS but without CLL/SLL.She was diagnosed with CLL/SLL(Binet stage C,Rai stage IV)accompanied by secondary histiocytic sarcomas and skin LCS and received cyclophosphamide,doxorubicin,vincristine,dexamethasone,and etoposide but developed severe cytopenia.She ultimately refused treatments and discharged spontaneously.She died on September 12,2019.The literature review showed that in patients with CLL/SLL,skin lesions of LCS are accompanied by CLL/SLL.This patient was different from the previously reported cases of skin LCS in patients with CLL/SLL.CONCLUSION In this patient,the skin lesion of LCS showed no concomitant CLL/SLL.
