A Case of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome with Cutaneous Lesions as Presenting Sign
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disorder that is characterized by elevated eosinophilic counts above 1.5×109/l for greater than 6 months without any underlying causes [1]. The disease can affect multiple organs with a varied clinical presentation and may also affect the skin [2]. Skin lesions can be the dominating and/or presenting symptom affecting up to 50% of patients with HES [2]. We here present a case of HES with cutaneous involvement as presenting and dominating symptom.
