ABSTRACT
Observation:
Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells’ syndrome) is rare and recurrent inflammatory dermatosis with uncertain etiopathogenesis, variable cutaneous lesions and nonspecific histopathological findings. The diagnosis can be made with a combination of typical clinical appearance and course and histopathological findings. The diagnosis may be difficult because of its rarity. We present a case of eosinophilic cellulitis diagnosed 20 years after onset. Diabetes mellitus and/or antidiabetic antihypertansive drugs might be the trigger factors in the present case and doxycycline may be an alternative therapy for eosinophilic cellulitis.
