Eosinophilic granuloma is an uncommon condition that is characterized by unifocal or multifocal osteolytic lesions that often affect the skull. Unilateral lesions of the temporal bone are not uncommon, but bilateral temporal bone lesions are rare. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, fewer than 20 such cases have been reported during the past 40 years. We report a new case of bilateral tempor...

Eosinophilic granuloma of bone.

Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of bone.

Clinico-anatomical and pathomorphological analysis is carried out in 80 cases of SEBG that were treated or consulted in the Institute during 1963-1993. The following stages of SEBG are distinguished: 1--accumulation and proliferation of histiocytes; 2--granulomatosis; 3--regression. Obviously all SEBG which regress spontaneously or by means of punctures with intrafocal administration of medical...

Temporal bone Cholesterol Granuloma

Manasse was first reported cholesterol granuloma of the middle ear in 1917. Shambaugh in 1929 described idiopathoc hemotympanum as a cause to the development of cholesterol granuloma of middle ear. Cholesterol granuloma have been seen in multiple area of the human body where cholesterol crystals may exist such as the lungs, breasts, peritoneum, mediastinum, liver, spleen, thyroid, kidneys, lymp...

Eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone in an adult: controversies in the management.
