| Abstract: | An eosinophilic granuloma was discovered in the region of the ramus of the mandible. This case occured in a very rare location limited only to the ramus, and showed similar features resembling osteomyelitis or malignant neoplasm at different stages of the disease. The radiographic findings indicated a diagnosis of malignant neoplasm and the scintigraphic manifestations showed that of osteomyelitis. The histopathological examinations showed different manifestations in accordance with the respective stages of the disease. This case was finally diagnosed as eosinophilic granuloma showing rapid regression. |
