title: [Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the orbit: a case report].
abstract: The authors report a case of eosinophilic granuloma involving the roof of the orbit in a 3-year-old girl. The clinical presentation and the imaging features suggested a malignant tumor and the final diagnosis was obtained by biopsy with histopathologic examination. Despite its alarming radiologic appearance, there was spontaneous healing of the eosinophilic granuloma.
