Solitary Eosinophilic Granuloma of the Radius: A Case Report
Keywords:
Eosinophilic granuloma, Bone tumor, IHC
Abstract
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is an uncommon tumor of bone and soft tissue usually presenting in children. The clinical and radiological features of EG are highly valuable but not sufficient for diagnosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry give confirmatory diagnosis. We present here a case of EG localized to the radial head which was diagnosed histopathologically. Immunohistochemistry was done for CD1a, which was positive in our case confirming the diagnosis.References
