Abstract

Abstract We describe an unusual case of unifocal eosinophilic granuloma of the spine in a 38-year-old woman who presented with spinal cord compression. After 2 years of back pain, x-ray films of the spine were normal, but computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a lytic lesion of the 1st lumbar vertebral body with cephalic extension in the epidural space. The lesion was later confirmed at operation to be an eosinophilic granuloma spreading into the surrounding tissues.
