Granulomas with Tissue Eosinophilia (Eosinophilic Granulomas)

Abstract

From a complex agglomeration of data on granulomas with tissue eosinophilia have emerged two distinct and clearcut clinicopathologic entities: (1) granuloma of bone with tissue eosinophilia (eosinophilic granuloma of bone), which is accompanied by cutaneous manifestations at times, and (2) facial granuloma with tissue eosinophilia. These two disorders are described, and a brief discussion is presented of a motley group of lesions which require attention because they may simulate the aforementioned clinicopathologic entities on either or both clinical and microscopic grounds.
