On bir yaşında erkek hasta, sağ kruris ön yüzünde, sağ popliteal bölge iç medialinde ve sol kruris ön yüzünde yerleşimli, yaklaşık üç haftadır var olan, açık kahverengi, infiltratif plaklar nedeniyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Lezyonların histopatolojik incelemesinde kollajen liflerin üzerine dejenere eozinofil ve nükleus kalıntılarının çökmesiyle oluşan alev figürleri ve laboratuar tetkiklerinde eozinofili saptandı. Klinik ve histopatolojik veriler eşliğinde granülomatöz fazın izlendiği "eozinofilik sellülit" tanısı koyuldu. Olgu, eozinofilik sellülitin çocuklarda çok nadir rastlanan bir tablo olması nedeni ile sunulmuş ve histopatolojinin tanıda önemi vurgulanmıştır. (
AbstractAn 11-year-old boy was admitted to our clinic with a three-week of history of infiltrated brownish plaques located on the right cruris anterior, on the medial side of the right popliteal area and on the left cruris anterior. Histopathological examination showed flame figures which were composed of degenerated eosinophils and nuclear debris deposited on collagen fibers and laboratory analysis revealed eosinophilia. According to the clinical and histopathological findings, the case was diagnosed as eosinophilic cellulitis in the granulomatous phase. The case has been reported because of the rare presentation of eosinophilic cellulitis in children and the importance of the histopathology has been emphasized. (Turk J Dermatol 2010; 4: 40-3)
