Abstract
|
|
|
|
Eosinophilic granuloma accounts for 1% of primary bone tumor. It characteristically occurs in children and young adults. It usually involves the skull, ribs, spine or long bones. It is very rare to occur at supra-acetabular area on ilium. Biopsy is necessary for differential diagnosis because the roentgenographic finding of the lesion may be indistinguishable from other bony lesions, such as Ewing’s sarcoma, osteosarcoma, metastatic tumor or osteomyelitis. We report a case of 9 year old girl with solitary eosinophilic granuloma in the right supra-acetabular area, successively treated with curettage. During 4 years follow up, there was no evidence of clinical recurrence.
