Author and Disclosure Information

Eosinophilic granuloma represents less than 1% of all bone tumors, and adult presentation is very rare. The differential diagnosis of lytic bone lesions is broad and includes metastatic carcinoma, lymphoma/myeloma, osteomyelitis, osteoblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, and Ewing sarcoma. While EG is more common and easily diagnosed in children, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis in adults, so that the appropriate diagnostic workup and treatment can be performed.
