An Unusual Case of Solitary Swelling over Forehead: Think Eosinophilic Granuloma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disorder in children. Eosinophilic granuloma is the benign variant of this disease. We report the case of eosinophilic granuloma in a 7 years old male child who presented with right sided solitary swelling over right side of forehead associated with mild dull pain. Plain radiography revealed a solitary gap in frontal bone, computed tomography scan gave a better delineation. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done and histopathology clinched the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma. Single boggy swelling over scalp bone of a male child should raise the suspicion of eosinophilic granuloma.
