Abstract
NUNEZ CAMBRE, I. et al. Bone scintigraphy of eosinophilic granuloma. Oncología (Barc.) [online]. 2004, vol.27, n.8, pp.45-49. ISSN 0378-4835.
PURPOSE: Langerhans' cells histiocytosis (LCH) is an uncommon disease, presenting clinically with a very wide spectrum of symptoms. We point out the diagnostic procedure of LCH by means of scintigraphy studies, that is almost pathognomonic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present a case of eosinoplilic granuloma with a typical bone scintigraphy, described in the literature as just one lesion with intense uptake in the 5th rib. CONCLUSIONS: Bone scintigrapgy is useful for the diagnosis of LCH and the management of the patients.
