Abstract | Eosinophilic fasciitis is a disease originally proposed as "diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia" by Shulman in 1974. The patients with this disease often have history of strenuous exercise or labor a few days to 1-2 weeks before the onset. The chief symptoms are symmetrical, full-circumference swelling and plate-like hardness of the distal limbs. This is accompanied by redness and pain in the early stages, with many cases exhibiting systemic symptoms such as fever or generalized fatigue. The lesions have been observed extending to the proximal limbs, though never on the face or fingers. En bloc biopsies from the skin to the fascia show marked fascial thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration by the lymphocytes and plasma cells. Eosinophilic infiltration is useful for the diagnosis but is only seen in the early stages of the disease. Recently, "Diagnostic criteria, severity classification, and clinical guidelines for eosinophilic fasciitis" were published. This review article discusses about eosinophilic faciitis in detail, from its pathophysiology to the treatment. |
