Imaginal diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma of long bones

Objective To analyze the clinical and imaging features of eosinophilic granuloma of long bones so as to improve diagnosis accuracy of the disease. Methods The clinic materials and imaging findings of 24 patients with eosinophilic granuloma of long bones proved by surgery or histopathology were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients received radiography; CT scan was performed in 6 cases; and MRI was done in 4 cases. Results Fifteen patients out of 24 were male and 9 were female, with the average age 14.7 years old. Solitary lesion was found in 22 cases, and multiple bone destruction was noted in 2 cases. There were 14 lesions located in femur; 5 in tibia; 3 in humer; and 2 in fibula. In total 16 lesions involved diaphysis and in 8 cases the metaphysis was invaded. Bone destruction, the changes of the adjacent cortex, periosteal reaction and soft tissue mass or swelling were demonstrated in images obtained. Conclusion The imaging features in eosinophilic granuloma of long bones are characteristic. Careful and integrative analysis of imaging findings improves diagnosis accuracy of the disease.
