ABSTRACT
We report a case of eosinophilic fasciitis occurring in a 48-year-old man who showed tender, edemstous, indurated, and tight skin on the left forearm and elbow joint. Laboratory findings showed peripheral blood eosinophilia and hypergammaglobulinemia. Other laboratory tests were negative or within normal limits including ANA and anti-DNA. Histopathological findings revealed sclerosis of dermis and thickening of fat and fascia with intense infiltrations of lymphocytes, histiocytes and eosinophils. He was treated successfully with oral prednisolone for 2 weeks.
