Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal lobe: a case report and long-term follow-up of previously reported cases.
A case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal lobe is reported and compared with seven previously documented cases. Long-term clinical follow-up information was obtained on two cases that were originally reported in 1977 and 1981. Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the cerebral hemisphere, a rare manifestation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, had excellent long-term clinical outcomes in this small number of patients.
