Localized eosinophilic fasciitis in a child.
An 8-yr-old girl is described who developed eosinophilic fasciitis in the left arm from the shoulder down to the tips of the fingers, after extreme effort. The clinical and histological appearance were typical and so was the benign outcome, but the age was unusual and the localized asymmetrical distribution was outstanding and has not been described before.
