Abstract
Three cases of eosinophilic granuloma were reported in this study. The patients were 5-year-old girl who presented with pain in the left buttock, 5-year-old boy with pain in the right thigh, and 4-year-old boy with pain in the right hip joint. X-ray films and computed tomographic scans revealed lytic lesions in the left ilium, in the right femur, and in the right ischium, respectively. Technetium scan demonstrated abnormal accumulations in these lytic lesions. Curettages were performed and all patients were diagnosed as having eosinophilic granuloma. No additional treatment was performed since the lesion was considered to be solitary. These patients have been disease-free more than 12 years, 6 years, and 1 year, respectively.
