Eosinophilic cellulitis presented with semicircular pattern

Abstract

Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells' syndrome) is a rare condition of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It is characterized by erythematous plaques and a histological picture of dermal eosinophilic infiltration with "flame figures". The typical clinical presentation of eosinophilic cellulitis is mildly pruritic cellulite-like plaques. Urticarial, vesiculo-bullous, nodular and papulonodular variants were also reported. Herein, we describe a patient with annular and semicircular manifestations of eosinophilic cellulitis. It was treated successfully with low-dose cyclosporine A treatment.
