Abstract:
We report a 44-year-old female patient with Eosinophilic cellulitis who had developed pruritic erythematous plaque on the right lower abdomen since two months ago. The blood eosinophil count was 2,066/mm at first visit. This lesion responded well to cortieosteroid therapy. However new erythematous swelling reappeared on the left lower abdomen and left inner thigh 3 months after the first treatment. A biopsy specimen taken from an erythematous plaque showed many flame figures and diffuse infiltration of eosinophils and histiocytes in the lower dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue.
