[The eosinophilic granuloma in the jaw region].
The eosinophilic granuloma is nowadays generally considered as a reticulosis associated with secondary lipoid storage. It occurs very rarely in the jaws. During a period of 10 years, we had but 5 inpatients with a central, monostotic, eosinophilic granuloma. Diagnostic difficulties result from atypical clinical, radiological and paraclinical findings. The diagnosis can be confirmed solely by histologic methods. In agreement with most of the other authors we are of the opinion that the radiological treatment (if necessary, in combination with surgical measures) is optimal.
