    Author: Diniz Freitas M, Madriñán Graña P, Antúnez López J, Gándara Vila P, Gándara Rey JM, García García A.
    Journal: Med Oral; 2001; 6(2):95-100. PubMed ID: 11500625.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic granuloma consists of the proliferation and/or accumulation of Langerhans cells in the bones, generally of the cranium and face, as a uni- or multifocal cystic lesion. It is considered to be a localized chronic form of Langerhans cell disease. The most frequent oral location is the posterior part of the mandible, where the bone lesion often gives rise to lesions of the overlying soft tissues. We report a case showing bilateral involvement of the upper jaw and unilateral involvement of the mandible. The eosinophilic granulomas arose in association with odontogenic periapical infectious processes, suggesting that this disorder may be a form of inflammatory response.
