Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the frontal lobe.
Solitary intracranial eosinophilic granulomas are rare and most frequently involve the hypothalamus. We report an unusual case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the frontal lobe in a patient without evidence of systemic disease. Previously reported cases of solitary intracranial nonhypothalamic lesions are reviewed, and the clinical, radiographic, and histological features of this case are discussed.
