e19543 Background: Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) is a very rare cancer with the reported incidence of 2 per 100,000,000. It originates from antigen presenting cells belonging to the dendritic cell/macrophage family. Methods: Following IRB approval, we identified LCS patients treated at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. Medical charts were reviewed to extract clinical data. Results: Our cohort consists of 5 patients with confirmed diagnosis of LCS. The median age at diagnosis was 34 years (range, 11-75) with 60% (3/5) females. One female was an African American and the rest were Caucasians. ECOG performance status at the time of diagnosis was 0 in 4 patients and 3 in 1 patient. Four patients had disseminated disease at diagnosis. 3/5 patients had moderate splenomegaly at diagnosis. 2/5 patients presented with a bulky mediastinal tumor and 1/5 patients presented with bulky intraabdominal disease. Predominant sites of disease are summarized in the table. BRAF mutation was negative in all 3 tested patients. The median follow up for the whole cohort was 25 months (range; 5, 41). Three patients relapsed after the initial treatment. Patient # 4 received allogeneic stem cell transplantation after the 4th relapse and is in CR 14 months later. Patient # 5 had PD-L1 expression > 95% and was started on pembrolizumab with sustained response for 1 year. Conclusions: LCS is extremely rare and is associated with unfavorable outcomes after currently available therapeutic interventions. More studies on the genetic and molecular basis of LCS are necessary to develop targeted therapies. [Table: see text]
