Abstract
Introduction
Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a benign bone tumor that rarely occurs in adults. It
is usually found occurring in flat and long bones, but spine is often affected too.
EG is of unknown aetiology, and the course of the disease is unpredictable.
Materials and methods
Two cases of EG of the adult lumbar spine are reported, representing a difficult challenge
for diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion
CT scan guided trocar biopsy allowed to achieve a definitive diagnosis, and CT scan
guided intralesional infiltrations of corticosteroids were the successful treatment.
