eosinophilic granuloma

Eosinophilic granuloma is a form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Feline eosinophilic granuloma complex is synonymous with feline eosinophilic skin diseases.

Cats with eosinophilic granuloma complex (EGC) may have one or more of four patterns of skin disease.

Other entities that may have a similar clinical presentation include osteomyelitis, osteosarcoma (especially telangiectatic osteosarcoma) and eosinophilic granuloma.

Other conditions that can cause similar-appearing conditions include skin mites, ringworm, yeast infection, or auto-immune diseases such as eosinophilic granuloma complex ("rodent ulcers").

This differentiates eosinophilic granuloma from other forms of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (Letterer-Siwe or Hand-Schüller-Christian variant.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is the terminology currently preferred over histiocytosis X, eosinophilic granuloma, Abt-Letterer-Siwe disease, Hand-Schuller-Christian disease, or diffuse reticuloendotheliosis.

Unifocal LCH, also called eosinophilic granuloma (an older term which is now known to be a misnomer), is a slowly-progressing disease characterized by an expanding proliferation of Langerhans cells in various bones.

Histiocytosis-X Eosinophilic Granuloma Hand-Schuller Christian Syndrome Letterer-Siwe Disease None Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a non-malignant proliferation of Langerhans cells (LC).

This category also includes hypersensitivity disorders and eosinophilic skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, miliary dermatitis and feline eosinophilic granuloma and skin diseases caused by autoimmunity, such as pemphigus and discoid lupus.

Eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa (also known as "Eosinophilic ulcer of the tongue," "Riga-Fede disease," and "Traumatic eosinophilic granuloma") is a condition characterized by an ulcer with an indurated and elevated border.

CRMO may be a catch-all medical phrase for painful bone lesions that do not have a better diagnosis such as arthritis, rheumatic fever, bacterial osteomyelitis, ewing sarcoma, leukemia, lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma metastasis, eosinophilic granuloma, or Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
