Spontaneous regression of multifocal eosinophilic granuloma of the mandible: a case report

Eosinophilic granuloma of bone is a destructive osseous lesion characterized by large number of
histiocytes. It is classified as one of a triad of nonlipid reticuloendothelial disorders, the
Langerhans-cell histiocytosis. It usually presents as a solitary lytic disease of bone, and occurs in
the second and third decades of life. It is curable by surgery, radiotherapy, steroid injection, or a
combination of these techniques.
A case of multifocal eosinophilic granuloma of the mandible with spontaneous remission after
biopsy is reported.
