ABSTRACT

An eosinophilic granuloma of the cranial vault was visualized in a ¹⁹⁷Hg-chlormerodrin brain scan. After 42 months the patient returned with another granuloma of the parietal bone which was visualized on a ^99mTc-pertechnetate brain scan. Erosion of the right parietal bone was apparent on the roentgenogram at each examination.
