Their report was based on the case history of a four year old girl with a lesion of the femur, which was considered to represent a previously undescribed granuloma of bone containing many eosinophils. Otani and Erlich2described the same type of granuloma of bone and stated that its roentgenologic appearance simulated that of primary neoplasm. Farber3postulated that eosinophilic granuloma of bone, Hand-Schüller-Christian disease, and Letterer-Siwe disease are variations of the same entity. This was supported by Green and Farber's4study of...Bibliography1. LichtensteinJaffe LHL: Eosinophilic granuloma of bone, with report of a case, Am. J. Path. 16: 595, 1940. MedlineGoogle Scholar2.
