BACKGROUND Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is a polyetiologic clinical entity with still obscure pathogenesis. Clinically overt toxocariasis is uncommon in adults, yet helminthozoonoses, including toxocariasis have been occasionally implicated in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic cellulitis. CASE REPRESENTATION A 55-year-old female patient presented with a skin biopsy verified recurr...

Background: Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells syndrome) is an uncommon eosinophilic dermatosis of unknown pathogenesis, which signals undiagnosed infectious, malignant or systemic disease. It has been reported exceptionally in association with inflammatory bowel disease. Case report: A 7-month-old female infant, whose parents had no particular medical history, was seen for pruriginouspapulo-nodula...

Observation: Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells’ syndrome) is rare and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis with uncertain etiopathogenesis, variable cutaneous lesions and nonspecific histopathological findings. The diagnosis can be made with a combination of typical clinical appearance and course and histopathological findings. The diagnosis may be difficult because of its rarity. We present a case o...

Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is an uncommon inflammatory disease with clinical polymorphism. It is often associated with infectious, allergic or myeloproliferative diseases; however, the exact aetiology is unknown. This report describes a rare case of eosinophilic cellulitis in association with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. The typical skin findings of Wells' syndrome disappe...

Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells'syndrome) is an uncommon skin disorder. We report two adult male patients who had recurrent erythematous plaques and a nodular lesion on the abdomen. The histopathologic feature of their skin biopsies similarly indicated a marked infiltrate of eosinophils in the dermis with the fashion of "flame figures". One of the patients demonstrated blood eosinophilia. Given ...

Eosinophilic cellulitis is a rare skin disorder may be idiopathic or be associated with other conditions. We present a 42- year- old female patient with bilateral atypical cellulitis – like lesions on her arms. The patient had a documented infection with Leptospira recently, and had a positive history for fascioliasis two years before.Histopathology examination of the l...

Eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy is a multifaceted dermatosis with a wide morphological spectrum, presenting as pruritic, erythematous, papular and occasionally vesicular, urticarial, nodular eruptions. Histopathologically eosinophil infiltration in the super and deep dermis was found. We reported a case of eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy presented as urticari...

ISSN 0001-5555 Sir, Eosinophilic cellulitis (EC) is an inflammatory dermatosis characterized by marked eosinophilic infiltrates in the dermis. Thus far, few cases have been described in association with non-haematological malignancies (1–4). We report here a case of EC that developed in a patie...
