Eosinophilic granuloma in the anterior mandible mimicking radicular cyst

Abstract: Eosinophilic granuloma is a common expression of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and corresponds with typical bone lesions. The radiographic appearance of eosinophilic granuloma in the jaw is variable and not specific. It may resemble periodontitis, radicular cyst, or malignancies. The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristic radiographic features of eosinophilic granuloma of a 39-year-old male. The lesion in the anterior mandible was first diagnosed as radicular cyst because the radiographic fin… Show more

“…Spontaneous regression has only been reported in the case of one oral lesion.2 If the lesion does not regress, treatment usually consists of surgical excision [2]. If surgery is not feasible, radiation therapy or chemotherapy have been used [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Although rare, systemic xanthogranuloma is associated with significant morbidity and occasional deaths.11 If possible, surgical excision is usually curative for systemic xanthogranuloma as well [20].…”

“…Eosinophilic granuloma of bone is part of the spectrum of Langerhans cell histiocytosis without visceral involvement [8]. Langerhans cell histiocytosis can appear similar radiographically to a periapical cyst, among other lesions [13]. While possessing a variable radiographic appearance, the "teeth floating in the air" appearance is one of the characteristics of this lesion.…”

“…Eosinophilic (monostotic or polystotic) granuloma (EG) is the mildest form of the disease of Langerhans' cell Histiocytosis [1]. It is a bone lesion that may present in a solitary or multiple forms.…”

“…EG is the most benign disorder of this triad and it involves localized lesions predominantly of the long bones (3,4). It accounts for 60% -70% of all cases of LCH and can be seen as solitary or multifocal lesions (1,4). Multifocal lesions have a more severe and even fatal course (5).…”
