A boy aged 9 admitted to our clinic on July 1975, complaining of pain and swelling in the right scapular region. Roentgenograms showed a round osteolytic defect, about two centimeters in diameter in the right scapula. The area of bone destruction was filled with yellowish tissue, which was easily curetted from the bone. The histological picture revealed a granulomatous lesion with widely scattered histiocytic cells, and with foci of eosinophilic infiltration. Culture of the tissue did not given bacterial growth. By roentgenograms, the defect showed definite healing sixteen months after curettage.
