We report a case of a woman who underwent a curative resection of an upper jaw tumor histologically verified as eosinophilic granuloma. To exclude possible multiorgan involvement, PET/CT imaging was performed and revealed a metabolically active, partially calcified lesion located on the chest wall surface and clinically corresponding to a gradually developing, round, subcutaneous infiltrate wit...

Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is an uncommon tumor of bone and soft tissue usually presenting in children. The clinical and radiological features of EG are highly valuable but not sufficient for diagnosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry give confirmatory diagnosis. We present here a case of EG localized to the radial head which was diagnosed histopathologically. Immunohistochemistry was ...

An outgrowth on the left anteriothoracic region behind the elbow joint was seen in a free living Zebra at the time of postmortem examination. The covering skin was ulcerated, nodular, hard with multiple fistula containing yellowish pus. A pure culture of coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from the deep tissue. Histopathology revealed pyogranulomatous dermatitis characterized ...

Proptosis in children may be an ominous sign suggesting rhabdomyosarcoma, lymphoma, metastatic neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, eosinophilic granuloma, or orbital cellulitis , among others [1]. Ectopic lacrimal gland tissue within the orbit is an uncommon etiology of proptosis in infants and children [2], although it may be more common in adults [2] . We describe two cases of proptosis in children...

Solitary eosinophilic granuloma is a rather benign and localized form of Langerhans's cell histiocytosis. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathology including immunohistochemical detection of S-100, HLA-DR and CD1a antigens. We report the case of a twenty-five year old boy presented with headache and orbit's pain. A CT scan showed a left supero-lateral orbital mass with evidence of bone ero...

Severe Eosinophilic Endometritis appears after injury from a preoperative diagnostic procedure. It is an unusual and distinctive inflammatory uterine disease process, in response to eosinophil chemotactic substances. We report this case of a 55-year-old lady who developed severe eosinophilic endometritis following a diagnostic curettage.

A 23 yr old man was admitted suspected of having a liver disease because of marked elevation of the serum alkaline phosphatase. A biopsy of the liver was without cholestasis. A skin biopsy of a papule was compatible with eosinophilic granuloma. Over a few months the patient developed severe restrictive lung disease. The elevation of the serum alkaline phosphatase was probably due to diffuse bon...

Eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC) is a syndrome occurring in cats, characterized by lesions affecting the skin and the oral cavity. Conventional treatment is mainly symptomatic and may have undesirable side effects. This paper summarizes homeopathic treatment with snake remedies of cats suffering from EGC. Snake remedies were chosen by individual repertorizations and administered in differen...

The nematode Anisakis simplex is a parasite spread worldwide which infects consumers of raw or barely cooked fish. Clinically, it manifests itself in varied ways, from asymptomatic patients to others with allergic or digestive symptoms depending on the part of the digestive tract in which the larva lodges. We here present a case of incidental discovery of colonic eosinophilic granuloma, seconda...

Multifocal eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a rare observation within the spectrum of histiocytosis X, generally described in children. We report the case of a 33-year-old man with multifocal EG showing an asynchronous evolution of bone lesions during a follow-up of 11 years. We also present the therapeutic approach chosen for this patient and the repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examina...
