This paper related a case of eosinophilic granuloma in an eleven-year-old male child, treated successfully with curettage. The lesion appeared as a single irregular nodule in the left mandibular alveolar crest. A radiolucency was observed in the radiograph apparently causing an expansion of the vestibular and lingual cortical plates and displacement of the germs of the canine and first premolar. The treatment was by curettage, retaining the germs of the teeth involved. Other parts of the body were examined by osteal scintillography. Clinical and radiographic observations were done in the first three months; one year; two years; and five years postoperative with excellent prognosis.
