Eosinophilic Fasciitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Eponyms are used almost daily in the clinical practice of dermatology. And yet, information about the person behind the eponyms is difficult to find. Indeed, who is? What is this person's nationality? Is this person alive or dead? How can one find the paper in which this person first described the disease? Eponyms are used to describe not only disease, but also clinical signs, surgical procedures, staining techniques, pharmacological formulations, and even pieces of equipment. In this article we present the symptoms starting with (G). The symptoms and their synonyms, and those who have described this symptom or phenomenon. StreszczenieEponimy stosowane są niemal codziennie w praktyce w klinicznej dermatologii. A jednak informacja na temat osoby związanej z danym eponimem jest trudna do znalezienia. Kto to jest?

Observation: Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare connective tissue disorder with unknown etiology and pathogenesis, which is characterized by peripheral eosinophilia and sclerosis. Clinically, it differs from scleroderma by lack of involvement at distal areas, absence of Raynaud's phenomenon and presence of histopathological fascial involvement. It is still controversial whether it is a variant of systemic sclerosis. Systemic steroids and immunosuppressive agents are used in the treatment. Here, we presented a 79-years old man with sclerosis not involving distal parts of extremity and eosinophilia in complete blood count who was diagnosed as eosinophilic fasciitis.
