Abstract:
We report a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) with associated plantar lesions in a 45-year-old man. Exarnination of the skin disclosed an erythematous patch, approximstely 3 x 5cm, on the left cheek, which contained discrete and confluent pspulopustules and scaly circinated vesicular patch on the right foot. Histologic examination of a biopsy specirnen from the left cheek revealed the hair follicles and the sebaceous glands are infiltrated mainly by eosinophils and by some mononuclear and neutrophils. Histologic examination of a biopsy specimen from the right foot revealed a vesicle extending from the subcorneal portion to the lower epidermis, which was filled with neutrophils and a small number of eosinophils.
