title: Eosinophilic fasciitis in a rhesus macaque.
abstract: Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is an inflammatory disorder in the category of scleroderma-like connective tissue diseases. There are no animal models for spontaneously occurring EF. We present the case of a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) with clinical, laboratory, and histologic features of EF.
