Abstract
ULIVIERI, S.; OLIVERI, G. and FILOSOMI, G.. Solitary Langerhans cell histiocytosis orbital lesion: case report and review of the literature. Neurocirugía [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.5, pp.453-455. ISSN 1130-1473.
Solitary eosinophilic granuloma is a rather benign and localized form of Langerhans's cell histiocytosis. Definitive diagnosis is made by histopathology including immunohistochemical detection of S-100, HLA-DR and CD1a antigens. We report the case of a twenty-five year old boy presented with headache and orbit's pain. A CT scan showed a left supero-lateral orbital mass with evidence of bone erosion. The different options of treatment are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
Keywords : Eosinophilic granuloma; Histiocytosis X; Birbeck granules.
