Summary

Solitary eosinophilic granuloma that involves the CNS is an uncommon lesion and most frequently affects the hypothalamus. We report a new and rare case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the left temporal lobe in a patient without systemic disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopy and immuohistochemical techniques. The treatment of choice is surgical resection. There is a better prognosis in comparison with cases accompanied by systemic disease.

Key words:
Eosinophilic granuloma
Langerhans’cell histiocytosis
Temporal lobe
Histiocytosis “X”
Resumen

El granuloma eosinófilo aislado del SNC es una entidad rara, siendo su localización más fercuente el hipotálamo. Presentamos un nuevo caso de histiocitosis aislada del lóbulo temporal en un paciente sin afectación sistémica. El diagnostico se ha confirmado tanto por microscopía electrónica como con las técnicas inmunohistoquímicas. El tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica radical, siendo el pronóstico en estos casos es mejor que cuando están en el contexto de enfermedad sistemica.

Palabras clave:
