We reviewed 13 cases of eosinophilic granuroma of the bone. There were 9 male and 4 female patients with an average age of 13.3 years (ranging from 2 to 33 years). Nine patients had solitary lesions and four had multiple lesions.
In all solitary cases and multiple cases with primary lesions, seven of the lesions were treated with curattage, six had curattage combined with bone graft and multiple cases with secondary lesions received no treatment. All lesions healed and local recurrence was not observed.
Eosinophilic granuroma of bone is a benign tumor. Therefore, it is important to perform a biopsy in order to determine the histology and not to treat it excessively.
