ABSTRACT
Wells' syndrome, or eosinophilic cellulitis, is characterized clinically by an acute dermatitis resembling cellulitis, which evolves into violaceous plaques that resolve spontaneously without scarring. The histopathologic features show dermal eosinophil infiltration and development of characteristic `flame figure'. Wells' syndrome has been described mainly in adults, and less than 20 childhood cases have been reported. We herein report a case of Wells' syndrome in a 3-year-old boy.
