    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic fasciitis is a syndrome of imprecise classification which usually responds well to corticosteroids. We report a patient who did not respond to such treatment but he improved with cimetidine therapy. The pathogenesis of this syndrome and the possible action mechanism of cimetidine are discussed.
