Abstract
A solitary lesion in the distal sternum in a 30-year-old woman caused by eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is reported. Bone scan with 99Tcm was negative. Laboratory tests were completely normal. Although EG bone lesions have been discussed extensively in the literature only one similar case of solitary EG of the sternum has been published to date. A comprehensive summary of the literature is presented.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
