Il granuloma eosinofilo osseo è una lesione raramente localizzata a livello della colonna vertebrale (7% dei casi). La risonanza magnetica è l'esame neuroradiologico di scelta, anche se la radiografia diretta può risultare utile per un orientamento diagnostico. Gli autori riportano un caso di granuloma eosinofilo solitario del tratto toracico della colonna vertebrale e analizzano l'aspetto della lesione alla risonanza magnetica.
