Abstract
A case of eosinophilic granuloma in the humerus of a three and a half year old boy is described with serial roentgenographic evidence of the lesion developing over a period of two months prior to the commencement of treatment. After open biopsy and local steroid injection the lesion was observed to heal during the next ten months.
