A 38-year-old woman with a long-term history of smoking presented to the lung cancer clinic with weight loss and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. A diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was made by specimen samples taken from video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. She was advised to stop smoking, which she adhered to. She was followed up in the respiratory clinic with pulmonary function tests every 6?months, which were all normal. Follow-up chest x-ray showed complete resolution of the multifocal interstitial infiltrates, and with smoking cessation, the patient has sustained an excellent quality of life.
