the various organs of the human body, it predominates in children. Different localizations are described, Including the
hematological localization characterized by the presence of histiocytes cell in the bone marrow. The aim of this work is
to show the interest of the medullogram in the diagnosis of histiocytosis. We report 3 cases of Multifocal langerhanstic
