  • Title: Eosinophilic fasciitis--progression to linear scleroderma: a case report.
    Author: Balat A, Akinci A, Turgut M, Mizrak B, Aydin A.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 1999; 41(3):381-5. PubMed ID: 10770102.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare disease in children. Although changes similar to linear scleroderma have been reported, the outcome is usually good. In this report, a 10-year-old boy who developed eosinophilic fasciitis without a good response to steroids is presented. He progressed to linear scleroderma within months. Our case reinforces the hypothesis that eosinophilic fasciitis may be an early manifestation or a variant of localized scleroderma similar to the other cases in the literature.
