Introduction: Eosinophilic Granuloma (EG) is one of the subsets of langerhans cell histiocytosis Oral presentation may comprise multiple alveolar lesions accompanied by bleeding, gingival inflammation and teeth mobility,which may encourage patients to seek a dentist. Case Presentation: In this report, a case of an 18 year old male patient with multifocal lesions of EG in both jaws is presented. Conclusions: Although LCH remains an enigma for clinicians to date because of its ambiguous presentations, but timelydiagnosis could be critical for prognosis.
