Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Eosinophilic granuloma is a variety of histiocytosis-X with unknown etiology. Eosinophilic granuloma is very rare benign bone tumor which presents in more than 90 % in children under the age of ten years. There is predominance for males. It is usually found at flat and long bones as single or multiple lesions of bone destruction. The skull and vertebral spine is often affected. We report a case of 16 years young adolescent male, presented with painless swelling in left frontal skull. CT cranium revealed 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm lytic lesion in skull with associated soft tissue in left coronal suture region. He underwent craniotomy and excision of mass. Histopathological features were consistent with eosinophilic granuloma. One month post-operative evaluation was normal and he kept on 6 monthly follow-up. This is a rare case of eosinophilic granuloma diagnosed in 16 years adolescent male, presented as painless frontal swelling.
