Eosinophilic fasciitis associated with inflammatory neutrophilic vasculitis.
The authors report a case of eosinophilic fasciitis with an histopathological pattern of inflammatory neutrophilic vasculitis associated with the typical inflammatory infiltrate. The presence of this type of vasculitis which may be observed in the initial forms of scleroderma supports the hypothesis of a considerable overlap between these two entities.
