Title: Caracterización radiológica del granuloma eosinofílico
Abstract: Background: Histiocytosis of Langerhans cells is a rare disease, of unknown cause, whose most common form of manifestation is as eosinophilic granuloma (osseous form of the disease). Objective: Collect general aspects of eosinophilic granuloma to associate them with its radiological manifestations, always considering the different stages of the disease. Material and methods: bibliographic review seeking to show the wide range of possibilities of eosinophilic granuloma by imaging methods. Results: both the clinical characteristics and general radiological manifestations of the eosinophilic granuloma were evidenced, as well as specific images by affected bone segment. Also, it was shown that there are different evolutionary stages of the disease and the importance of that fact was confirmed. Conclusion: there is clinical and radiologic data capable of strongly suggesting diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma, even without a histopathologic report.
