Abstract
A rare case report of Adult Eosinophilic Granuloma of the upper thoracic spine involving the vertebral body. A 48-year-old male with chronic pain over the lower neck without neurological involvement. MR imaging shows a lytic lesion over D2 vertebral body. Open biopsy is done; it is consistent with EG. Immunohistochemistry markers are positive for CD1a, S100. Adult Eosinophilic Granuloma is a self-limiting and spontaneous resolution condition in adults. It should be in the list of differential diagnoses for a solitary lytic lesion of the spine in adults.
