Abstract

Generally limited to a period of 4 or 5 years, histiocytosis X may last 10 or 15 years. However, there may be no long-term follow up report whose signs were observed primarily in oral region.
We experienced case of eosinophilic granuloma of mandible in a 3 year-old girl. We performed surgical therapy, irradiation and chemotherapy. Two times recurrence was observed in 11 years follow-up. However we judged this case cured, because 5 years passed after intraosseous lesion disappearance.
