title: Diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia. A clinicopathologic study.
abstract: Three cases of diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia are presented, and their clinical, laboratory and histologic follow-up are outlined. Furthermore histologic comparison with scleroderma is attempted and the literature is reviewed. From our findings, we conclude that diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia is a distinct clinicopathologic entity.
