Abstract: | Primary bone tumors of the chest wall are uncommon, although a wide variety of both benign and malignant tumors arise within the chest wall. Among those tumors, sternal tumors are rare and usually malignant. We report an extremely rare case of eosinophilic granuloma developed in the sternum in a 30-year-old woman. She presented anterior chest pain and somewhat tender mass over the sternum. Chest roentgenogram, computed tomography scanning of the thorax, and total body bone scintigraphy revealed an isolated lytic lesion in the corpus sterni. A tru-cut biopsy of the mass exhibited the typical histologic appearance of eosinophilic granuloma. The solitary lesion was removed completely surgically. This rare condition should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of sternal lesions |
