    Abstract
  • This article reports a rare case of elderly thoracic vertebral multifocal eosinophilic granuloma (EG). The patient, a 66-year-old male, presented with "low back and waist pain accompanied by fatigue for over two years, and worsening for three months." After treatment with glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive conservative therapy, the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests improved. Pathological biopsy showed the disappearance of granulomatous tissue. Subsequently, due to the occurrence of compression fractures in the affected area, surgical treatment was carried out. This suggests that the treatment of glucocorticoids combined with cyclophosphamide is feasible for adult patients with multi-site bone eosinophilic granuloma.
