Abstract

Objective To explore the radiologic features of ensinophilic granuloma of bone and improve the value of imaging to the disease. Methods the radiologic features of 17cases with ensinophilic granuloma of bone as confirmed by operation and pathology were studied retrospectively. Results There were 16 cases who had single lesion and the other had multiple lesions. Among 16 cases who had single lesion, 6 cases were located in crinial bone, 4 cases in long bone, 3 cases in pelvis, 3 cases in vertebral column. The imaging characteristics included the bone destruction, the changes of cortical bone, periosteal proliferation and soft-tissue swelling or mass. 9 cases were diagnosed correctly. 8 cases were misdiagnosed. Conclusion The radiologic appearances of ensinophilic granuloma of bone have relative characteristics, which is helpful for the diagnosis of this disease, yet the final diagnosis still depends on pathology.
