  • Title: Eosinophilic granuloma: MRI manifestations.
    Author: Beltran J, Aparisi F, Bonmati LM, Rosenberg ZS, Present D, Steiner GC.
    Journal: Skeletal Radiol; 1993; 22(3):157-61. PubMed ID: 8480200.
    Abstract:
    The appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 16 cases of pathologically proven eosinophilic granuloma were reviewed retrospectively and correlated with the radiographic appearance of the lesion. The most common MR appearance (ten cases) was a focal lesion, surrounded by an extensive, ill-defined bone marrow and soft tissue reaction with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, considered to represent bone marrow and soft tissue edema (the flare phenomenon). The MRI manifestations of eosinophilic granuloma, especially during the early stages, are nonspecific, and may stimulate an aggressive lesion such as osteomyelitis or Ewings sarcoma, or other benign bone tumors such as osteoid osteoma or chondroblastoma.
