Effectiveness and Safety of Low-Dose Radiotherapy in Eosinophilic Lymphoid Granuloma

To investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiotherapy in treating eosinophilic lymphoid granuloma.

This study included a total of 20 patients diagnosed with eosinophilic lymphoid granuloma. All patients underwent low-dose three-dimensional conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy for their lesions. We analyzed the control status of the lesions and any adverse reactions related to radiotherapy.

The overall effectiveness of low-dose radiotherapy in treating eosinophilic lymphoid granuloma was 90%. The incidence of grade I and grade II adverse reactions induced by radiotherapy was 70% and 30%, respectively. Over a median follow-up period of 23.6 months, all patients showed controlled lesions within the target delineation of radiotherapy. After radiotherapy, four patients experienced occasional pruritus, and one patient had a recurrence outside the target area three years later. No long-term severe adverse reactions related to radiotherapy were observed during the follow-up period.

Low-dose radiotherapy demonstrates an apparent therapeutic effect on eosinophilic lymphoid granuloma with acceptable adverse reactions.
