MRI, CT, scintigraphic and histological features of a vanishing scapular eosinophilic granuloma.
BACKGROUND
Vanishing bone lesions have been previously described in patients with eosinophilic granuloma.


METHODS
We present the magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, scintigraphic and histological findings in a 26-year-old woman presenting with a painful scapular mass that subsequently completely resolved, compatible with the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma.


CONCLUSIONS
Clinicians should be aware of the multimodality appearances and natural history of resolving eosinophilic granuloma.
