Abstract

Skin induration without internal organ involvement, blood and tissue eosinophilla, and fascilitis are features of diffuse fascilitis. However, cellular infiltrates (lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils) may also be present in the dermis, fat, and muscle. Blood eosinophilia (mild and transient) and skin eosinophilia were observed in about 20% of patients with systemic and localized scleroderma.
