title: Eosinophilic granuloma of the proximal tibial epiphysis.
abstract: This is a 3-year follow-up report of an eosinophilic granuloma of bone occurring in a growing epiphysis. The lesion occurred in a 6-year-old boy and is only the third such case reported in the literature. Eosinophilic granuloma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lytic lesions of the epiphysis in childhood.
