a case of a 3-year-old patient with osteolytic lesion in the lumbar region is presented. the clinic-radiological suspicion was infection, primary or metastatic tumor of spine. subsequently, a ct guided biopsy proved an eosinophilic granuloma of bone. following medical treatment after two month, there was improvement in patient medical status.

Eosinophilic granuloma was formerly mistaken for “eosinophilic myeloma” (Finzi 1929) or for “osteomyelitis with eosinophilic reaction” (Schairer 1938). It was described as a new distinct entity by Otani and Ehrlich (1940) under the denomination solitary granuloma of bone and by Jaffe and Lichtenstein (1944) as eosinophilic granuloma ofbone. Farber(l94l) and Green and Farber (1942) showed that e...

langerhans cell histiocytosis is a relatively rare unique disease process characterized by an abnormal proliferation of immature dendritic cells usually affecting children and young adults. jaws are involved in less than 10% of children with the disease while mandibular involvement in young children is uncommon and bilateral affection is very rare. the purpose of this report is to describe a un...

eosinophilic granuloma is benign end of the spectrum of the langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) which is characterized by solitary or multiple lesions in bones, skin, lung, lymph node etc. here, we present a case of a 13-year old boy with pain and swelling in the right parietal region of skull with no other complaint. a computerized tomography (ct) scan and subsequent fine needle aspiration cyt...

This is a report of a case of eosinophilic granuloma involving the second cervical vertebra in a 33-year-old woman. There have been 32 case reports in the literature describing eosinophilic granuloma presenting as cervical spine disease. Due to its intimate relation to the central nervous system, the opportunity for neurological sequelae and neurosurgical intervention is common in cervical eosi...

UNLABELLED BACKROUNDS: Eosinophilic granuloma is one of the rarest causes of bone tumors, especially in adults. Eosinophilic granuloma is the commonest form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and represents the unifocal osseous form of the disease which usually affects the skull and long bones. Eosinophilic granuloma, is a benign disease in which diagnosis and differential diagnosis presents more...

Eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw is rare and preferably located within the posterior mandible. In this study, we report a case of multiple eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw in a 22-year-old man. This patient consulted to our hospital due to left-posterior maxilla pain that lasted for one year. X-ray and CT scan revealed an osteolytic area in the left-posterior maxilla. Then, the lesion was res...

We present a case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma in the skull of a 6-year-old Saudi boy. This osteolytic lesion has fluid-fluid level on CT and MRI. We are presenting a rare radiological finding of eosinophilic granuloma.
