We report our experience with seven cases of eosinophilic granuloma in which unusual and/or confusing features were encountered. These features include: histologic confusion with desquamative interstitial pneumonitis, diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, eosinophilic pneumonia; cysts filled with air and/or fluid; radiographic onset in the eighth decade of life; intratracheal mass; and focal parenchyma...

A three and half year old boy with Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) formerly called as eosinophilic granuloma has been presented along with the desired treatment plan.

histiocytosis of langerhans cells (class 1 histiocytosis) consists of a range of clinical manifestations, including bone eosinophilic granuloma, hand-schüller-christian syndrome, and letterer-siwe disease. these syndromes represent a spectrum of severity and prognosis of an underlying disorder which is usually sporadic. this report describes three cases in one family, who developed the disease ...

Clinico-anatomical and pathomorphological analysis is carried out in 80 cases of SEBG that were treated or consulted in the Institute during 1963-1993. The following stages of SEBG are distinguished: 1--accumulation and proliferation of histiocytes; 2--granulomatosis; 3--regression. Obviously all SEBG which regress spontaneously or by means of punctures with intrafocal administration of medical...

Eosinophilic granuloma EG is a well-recognized benign form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, most commonly involving the skull bones. In this paper, we report an 8-year-old girl with EG of posterior element of vertebra; she had complete resolution with surgical curettage and bone grafting.

Laboratory studies, chest films, and bone scan findings were within normal limits. A 0.5× 0.5-cm nodule was found on the vulva. Histologic examination of a biopsy specimen from the lesion revealed Langerhans' cells that suggested eosinophilic granuloma. This diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscope examination of the specimen that demonstrated abundant Birbeck granules (A, arrows) in the ...

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an uncommon disease of unknown etiology reported in both adult and pediatric age group. Here we report a case of a 46-year-old HIV positive female who presented to us with ascites and abdominal distension with peripheral eosinophilia and diagnosed as EGE.
