Abstract
In this report, the initial clinical experience of authors is described on the novel
application of a navigational bipolar radiofrequency ablation electrode system for
curative treatment of a painful unifocal Langerhans cell histiocytosis involving the
supra-acetabular iliac bone. The technical success and safety of the radiofrequency
ablation procedure to achieve cure suggests that this intervention may be utilized
in clinical practice as a viable and minimally invasive alternative option, for management
of unifocal Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
