Bilateral temporal bone involvement with eosinophilic granuloma.
We present an unusual case of bilateral temporal bone destruction due to eosinophilic granuloma in a young child. The patient initially presented with otitis media, with subsequent rapidly developing bilaterally symmetric masses in the mastoid region. Computed tomography demonstrated extensive bony destruction which, after a course of vinblastine chemotherapy, improved dramatically on follow-up scans.
