Radiographic examination revealed multiple skeletal involvements-humerus, clavicle, scapula, metacarpal, vertebrae, femur and pelvic bones-which are similes ~ findings with initial lesion. But classic triad of Hand-Schuller-Christian Syndrome (skull defects, exophthalmos and diabeter insipidus) was not found. Second biopsy was carried out in the right second metacarpal bone and similaz pathologic findings were also demonstrated. Some improvements were noted with steroid(prednisone).
