title: [Unifocal eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone].
abstract: We present a case of a twelve year old child with a eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone. The eosinophilic granuloma is the most frecuent and most benign form of the histiocytosis of the Langerhans cells. The frecuency of the othological manifestations of this condition varies between 15-60 percent and radiologically, the images are characterized by litho-lesions with sharp edges. The diagnosis is histological and the treatment includes surgical intervention accompanied by inter-lesion corticoid-therapy and/or radiotherapy.
