Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of bone occurring in the buccal mucosa: report of a case.
Eosinophilic granuloma of bone is not uncommon in the craniofacial region (Anderson and kissane, 1977), and it sometimes occurs in organs such as the lung, stomach and spleen. However there are only few reports on solitary eosinophilic granuloma of bone occurring in oral soft tissue. In this report, we describe a case of eosinophilic granuloma of bone occurring in the soft tissue of a 40-year-old woman.
