title: Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the frontal lobe.
abstract: 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.
