This paper presents a study of 93 patients with eosinophilic granuloma of bone of different locations, who received radiotherapy in our Institute from 1953 to 1978. One hundred eighty four lesions were irradiated. In 118 patients, radiotherapy was used alone; it was used as part of combined treatment in 68 patients. The results and methods of radiotherapy are discussed. The following radiotherapeutic methods were used depending on the lesion site: gammatherapy (Co-60), orthvoltage x ray therapy and short distance x ray therapy (100 kv, SSD-10 cm). The follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 25 years.
