Allergic necrotizing eosinophilic granulomatosis.
Allergic necrotizing eosinophilic granulomatosis (ANEG) is a rare entity characterized by peripheral eosinophilia, hepatosplenomegaly, dyspnea, and lymphadenopathy. An unusual patient with ANEG is described in which the presenting feature was an extensive granulomatous lesion of the face. The patient's condition progressively deteriorated despite multiple therapies, and she finally succumbed to her disease.
