Recurrent eosiniphilic cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis
Keywords:
vasculitis, necrosis, eosinophiliaAbstract
Recurrent eosiniphilic cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis is a recently identified rare entity. It is characterized by a necrotizing vasculitis of small vessels of the dermis with an infiltration almost exclusively of eosinophils, with minimal or no leukocytoclasia. Clinically, it is characterized for recurrent erythematous or purpuric papules, some of them with annular configuration, and angioedema. In most of the cases there is peripheral eosinophilia, but without systemic involvement.
