Eosinophilic granuloma of bone
1Department of Orthopaedics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
This is a review of 48 patients registered in the University of British Columbia Bone Tumour Registry as having eosinophilic granuloma, with emphasis on the historical development, treatment and results. Comments on the place of scintigraphic imaging are included. Eosinophilic granuloma in its solitary form is a self-limiting disease requiring no treatment. It can, however, progress to multifocal disease or the historically important triad known as Hand-Schüller-Christian syndrome. There is some evidence that it may have an immunologic basis, but the authors have little new to offer with respect to its etiology.

01:17Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in adults, it...

Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
