Summary: | Eosinophilic granuloma has been designated as Histocytosis X together with Hand-Schilller-Christian and Letterer-Siwe diseases. It is a relatively rare disease of the jaw. We reported on a 37-year-old man who had multiple eosinophilic granulomas of the mandible, maxilla, ischium and lungs. Removal of the tumors from the mandible, maxilla, and ischium was performed surgically under general anesthesia, while the lungs were treated with a puncture biopsy. The pathological diagnosis was eosinophilic granuloma in all lesions. The patient shows no evidence of recurrence 5 years after surgery. Thirty-one cases of eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw reported in the Japanese literature were reviewed and the present case was comparatively discussed. |
