A Case Report of Eosinophilic Granuloma

Abstract

A nineteen-year-old girl was admitted with complaint of severe low back pain referred to the left leg.
Roentgenograms revealed irregular lytic destruction of pedicle of the 5th lumbar vertebra and multiple punched out areas in the skull and both iliac bones.
The spinal posterior fusion was carried out following curettage and the lesion was diagnosed histologically as eosinophilic granuloma.
Four months after the operation she was able to return to previous occupation.
