Abstract

Introduction  

Vanishing bone lesions have been previously described in patients with eosinophilic granuloma.

Materials and methods  

We present the magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, scintigraphic and histological findings in a 26-year-old woman presenting with a painful scapular mass that subsequently completely resolved, compatible with the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma.

Conclusion  

Clinicians should be aware of the multimodality appearances and natural history of resolving eosinophilic granuloma.

Keywords  CT - MRI - Scapula
