Abstract
Eosinophilic granuloma is the most common expression of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and corresponds with typical bone lesions. This disease is of importance to dental professionals because early clinical signs can occur in the jaw and can cause extensive destruction of the periodontal tissues. Pathological fracture is an unusual finding. The purpose of this case report is to describe a case of eosinophilic granuloma in a 28-year-old black man who initially appeared with intense pain from a pathological mandibular fracture.Entities:
