Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the frontal lobe

Neurosurgery. 1987 Oct;21(4):566-8. doi: 10.1227/00006123-198710000-00024.

Abstract

Solitary intracranial eosinophilic granulomas are rare and most frequently involve the hypothalamus. We report an unusual case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the frontal lobe in a patient without evidence of systemic disease. Previously reported cases of solitary intracranial nonhypothalamic lesions are reviewed, and the clinical, radiographic, and histological features of this case are discussed.
