Objective: Authors characterized all published adult cases of cutaneous, intertriginous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) to bring this clinical presentation to the attention of clinicians. We emphasize the morphology, histopathology, immunohistochemical profiles, and genetic mutations associated with these cases.
Materials And Methods: A systematic review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information's PubMed was conducted, utilizing the following specific key words to identify all adult LCH patients with cutaneous intertriginous involvement: "Intertriginous Langerhans," "Vulvar Langerhans," "Genital Langerhans," "Perineal Langerhans," "Perianal Langerhans," "Intergluteal Langerhans," "Inguinal Langerhans," "Axillary Langerhans," and "Inframammary Langerhans.

Traditional surgical approaches, including flaps and skin grafts, are effective for tissue coverage but can lead to vascular complications and recurrence of HS. This study introduces a novel technique, the apple-peeling procedure, combined with negative pressure wound therapy at -50 mm Hg for 5 days postoperatively.
