ABSTRACT
This 2-year-old child presented with concomitant eosinophilic granuloma of the lower jaw and focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia of the right tibia. Her eosinophilic granuloma was diagnosed on the basis of the clinical picture, imaging studies and the characteristic histologic appearance. Focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia was revealed incidentally during the eosinophilic granuloma staging process. After chemotherapy, all signs of eosinophilic granuloma subsided, but focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia remained without signs of clinical or radiographic progression. The importance of differentiating these two conditions is stressed in order to avoid ineffective and inappropriate treatment of focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia.
