How does an eosinophilic granuloma affect my child’s body?

Eosinophilic granulomas can grow on any large bone. The growths themselves are hardened collections of immune cells that form a bump on or near your child’s bones. The most common bones eosinophilic granulomas grow on include:

• Skull.
• Pelvis.
• Femur (thigh bone).
• Ribs.
• Humerus (upper arm bone).
• Mandible (jaw bone).
• Spine.

Depending on how big the granuloma is, it can cause symptoms like pain or pressure under your child’s skin.

Many kids never even notice they have one. Eosinophilic granulomas are frequently discovered and diagnosed when children get X-rays for other issues.
