Asymptomatic Lung Involvement In Eosinophilic Granuloma ( Case Report)

Abstract

Eosinophilic granuloma is rarely seen form of Langerhans cell histicytosis. Lungs, lymph nodes, bones, eyes and hypothalamus may be involved. 20% of the patients with lung involvement are asymptomatic. In this article, asymptomatic lung involvement in a patient with eosinophilic granuloma who was admitted with headache is presented.

Keywords

Eosinophilic granuloma, asymptomatic lung involvement
