ABSTRACT
Recurrent cutaneous eosinophilic vasculitis (RCEV) is a rare cutaneous disease characterized by necrotizing vasculitis of small vessels, with exclusive eosinophilic infiltration and minimal, or no leukocytoclasis. It presents with recurrent erythematous or purpuric papules or plaques, or angioedema associated with peripheral eosinophilia. This disease follows a benign chronic course without evidence of systemic involvement. Systemic corticosteroid therapy is effective but the disease commonly pursues a relapsing and remitting course. Herein, we report a case of RCEV that was effectively treated with systemic corticosteroids and dapson(R)(diaminodiphenylsulphone). Furthermore, the patient did not show a relapse of the disease in spite the tapering the systemic corticosteroid dose.
