An unusual presentation of eosinophilic granuloma (EG) of the bilateral temporal bone in a 2-year-old male child is discussed with the literature review. Involvement of the temporal bone is relatively uncommon and otorrhea or symptoms resembling mastoiditis are nonspecific. This rare condition should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of otitis media refractory to medical therapy.
