Primary clavicular bone tumors account for 0.45 to 1.01% of all primary bone neoplasms. Neoplasm, infection, traumatic injury, and developmental anomalies are the most frequent causes of non-traumatic lesions of the clavicle in children in their first ten years. The majority of neoplasms in the clavicle are cancerous. A 4-year-old girl was brought in by her parents who had noticed a painful swelling above the right lateral end of the collarbone for the previous two months. The child received intermittent painkillers over the course of two months, but there was minimal investigation into the reason of the child´s pain and swelling. The discomfort was ongoing and dull hurting. Physical examination revealed a single, isolated soft tissue swelling that measured 3x3 cm, was firm but not erythematous, and did not fluctuate. A plain radiograph was taken, and it showed that the lateral clavicle had a lytic, expansile lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging was done which showed an abnormal lesion on lateral end of clavicle. When the cytological results of the ultrasound-guided (USG) fine needle aspiration (FNA) were analyzed, the smear showed a diffuse population of eosinophils with multinucleated histiocytic giant cells. We were able to make the diagnosis of a Solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the lateral end of the clavicle with the aid of imaging investigations and a histologic image. Patient was treated with intralesional infiltration methylprednisolone injection at local site every 6 months. At regular follow - up it was observed that the lesion size was reduced and the patient had a pain free lateral end of clavicle at the end of 2 years.
