ABSTRACT
Wells' syndrome or eosinophilic cellulitis is usually observed in adults who present with pruritic, erythematous and edematous plaques associated with papules or vesicles. It is a rare inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology showing an eosinophil-mediated immune response. Classical histopathological features observed in patients are eosinophil-predominant inflammatory infiltration and marked dermal edema, along with ‘flame figures’. An 11-year-old boy presented with edematous plaques surmounted by vesicles on his abdomen and lower extremities. A month prior to presentation, these skin lesions occurred on other parts of his abdomen; however, they resolved spontaneously within a week. Skin biopsies from the recurrent lesions showed features consistent with Wells' syndrome and a few molluscum bodies in the epidermis. Laboratory tests showed peripheral eosinophilia. We concluded that Wells' syndrome in this young patient was caused by preceding molluscum contagiosum infection.
