title: Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the pelvis in children. A report of three cases.
abstract: We present three cases of eosinophilic granuloma of the ilium in children. Imaging investigations (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) did not elucidate the disease but rather revealed patterns more like malignant tumours than a benign condition. However, these investigations were of value in directing the surgeon to the correct site for biopsy.
