Approximately 10% to 20% of all cases of eosinophilic granuloma occur in the jaws. A palpable mass with or without pain is the most frequent presenting clinical feature. Less common clinical signs include gingivitis, loose teeth, and oral ulceration with poor healing. We report a case of monostotic mandibular eosinophilic granuloma in a 38-year-old woman that initially manifested mandibular body fracture, an unusual and poorly documented clinical sign for this disease. The clinical and radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and treatment plan of the case are presented.
约10%至20%的嗜酸性肉芽肿病例发生于颌骨。最常见的临床表现是可触及的肿块,可伴有或不伴有疼痛。较不常见的临床体征包括牙龈炎、牙齿松动和愈合不良的口腔溃疡。我们报告一例38岁女性的单发性下颌骨嗜酸性肉芽肿病例,该病例最初表现为下颌骨体骨折,这是该疾病一种不常见且文献记载较少的临床体征。本文介绍了该病例的临床和影像学特征、鉴别诊断及治疗方案。
