Wells syndrome.
Wells syndrome, or eosinophilic cellulitis, is a rare disorder characterized by erythematous plaques evolving into dermal or subcutaneous masses. The histopathology shows degenerative collagen, histiocytes, and eosinophils. Although most cases of Wells syndrome occur in adults, we present a child with these clinical and histopathologic findings.
