Abstract :Eosinophilic granuloma is the benign form of histiocytosis X, or Langerhan`s cell histiocytosis. The most frequently affected bones include skull, pelvis, ribs and long bones. Involvement of the temporal bone is a rare manifestation of eosinophilic granuloma. When the disease occurs in the temporal bone, the patient may commonly present acute or chronic otitis media. We report a case of eosinophilic granuloma of the temporal bone presenting with purulent discharge.Keywords : Eosinophilic granuloma, Temporal bone
