摘要

Tissue eosinophilia is a common finding during histopathologic evaluation and recognizing its presence oftentimes aids pathologists in arriving at the correct diagnosis. The head and neck region is an anatomic location where an abundance of eosinophil-rich disorders occur. In this review, we seek to provide an overview of eosinophil morphology, production, regulation, lifecycle, recruitment, function, and mediators. We will also summarize the most commonly diagnosed eosinophil-rich disorders, both non-neoplastic and neoplastic, occurring in the head and neck.
