Abstract
One of the three clinical presentations of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Eosinophilic Granuloma (EG) develops as a result of the benign inflammatory reaction to an
etiological agent, with an undetermined cause. It is commonly seen in children and young adults. Most common locations in the body are primarily the skull, followed by diaphyses of long bones, such as costae and femur. In this report, we have aimed to present a 12- year old case we diagnosed with EG with the aid of imaging techniques, that had presented with pain in his femoral area for a period of time, along with the review of relevant literature (Figure 1, 2, 3 and 4).
