Abstract:
Objective To mainly discuss the relationship between histologic type and clinic manifestations of eosinophilic fasciitis. Methods Muscle biopsies in 6 cases of eosinophilic fasciitis were evaluated by the clinical, histopathology and enzyme histochemistry. Results All 6 cases were adults aged from 24-41 years (mean 35 years). Clinically, typical eosinophilic fasciitis charactristics were found in all cases. Histologically, three features appeared with diagnostic values. One was eosinophilic fasciitis with myopathy, one, eosinophilic fasciitis and another was focal fasciitis.Conclusions There may appear different histopathologic changes in eosinophilic fasciitis according to its clinic manifestations.
