Purpose:
To study the clinical features and treatment of eosinophilic granuloma of the jaw (EGJ) in 21 cases.
Methods:
21 patients with EGJ treated from 1983 to 2002 were reviewed, including the sexes, ages, extent of lesions, clinical features and treatment methods.
Results:
The male to female rate was 13:8. 76% of the cases were among 2-10 years. The median age was 8 years, 18 lesions were in the mandible, 1 was in the maxilla and 2 involved the mandible and maxilla.
Conclusions:
EGJ was rarely seen clinically, lack of specificity. Pathology can confirm the diagnosis. Surgery is still the major treatment modality. Combination of radiotherapy or chemotherapy maybe valuable. The prognosis of the patients was generally good.
