Definitions of Eosinophilic granuloma:

A clinical variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis characterised by unifocal involvement of a bone (most often), skin, or lung. Patients are usually older children or adults usually presenting with a lytic bone lesion. The etiology is unknown. Morphologically, eosinophilic granuloma is characterised by the presence of Langerhans cells in a characteristic milieu which includes histiocytes, eosinophiles neutrophiles, and small, mature lymphocytes. -- 2003 - (Source - Diseases Database)

Eosinophilic granuloma is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Eosinophilic granuloma, or a subtype of Eosinophilic granuloma, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
