title: Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) in association with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy.
abstract: Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is an uncommon inflammatory disease with clinical polymorphism. It is often associated with infectious, allergic or myeloproliferative diseases; however, the exact aetiology is unknown. This report describes a rare case of eosinophilic cellulitis in association with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. The typical skin findings of Wells' syndrome disappeared completely following chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation.
