Eosinophilic granuloma is a localized, non-invasive form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. It usually develops in the long bones and is more frequent in children under the age of 10 years. It is very rare in adults. We present the case of a young woman admitted to hospital for persistent refractory left parietal headache, later revealed to be caused by an eosinophilic granuloma.
Eosinophilic granuloma is a localized benign form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.It is essential to exclude the presence of bone lesions in other locations and/or systemic involvement.The prognosis is good, with surgical resection, when necessary, being a curative intervention, although sometimes (as in this case) a conservative approach is sufficient.
嗜酸性肉芽肿是朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症的一种局限性、非侵袭性形式。它通常发生于长骨,在10岁以下儿童中更为常见。在成人中非常罕见。我们报告一例年轻女性因持续性难治性左侧顶叶头痛入院,后来发现是由嗜酸性肉芽肿引起的。
嗜酸性肉芽肿是朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症的一种局限性良性形式。排除其他部位骨病变和/或全身受累的情况至关重要。预后良好,必要时手术切除是一种治愈性干预措施,尽管有时(如本例)保守治疗就足够了。
