Brief Summary  

Relapsed / refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has been known to have a guarded prognosis. Salvage chemotherapy protocols can be expensive with significant toxicity and increased risk of morbidity and mortality. A combination of pulse dexamethasone and lenalidomide is a cost-effective outpatient-based protocol which has been derived based on the underlying pathophysiology of LCH. The proposed protocol includes six cycles of the oral combination as a salvage treatment option for relapsed / refractory LCH.
