Eosinophilic fasciitis in association with chronic vasculitic-like leg ulcerations.
Vasculitic lesions are not generally associated with eosinophilic fasciitis. Eosinophilic fasciitis is reported to be a syndrome distinct from progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS). More recent studies, however, note overlapping features in the clinical, pathologic, and laboratory findings of eosinophilic fasciitis and scleroderma. We report a typical presentation of eosinophilic fasciitis that developed vasculitic-like leg ulcerations as seen in scleroderma.
