  • Title: [Fasciitis and Shulman's syndrome. A nosologic discussion].
    Author: L'Hirondel JL, Leroy D, Guaydier-Souquières G, Courthéoux F, Loyau G.
    Journal: Rev Rhum Mal Osteoartic; 1987 Feb; 54(2):121-7. PubMed ID: 3563378.
    Abstract:
    Eosinophilic fasciitis or Shulman's syndrome is linked to scleroderma, systemic sclerodermia as various types of localized sclerodermia, by a nosological relationship analyzed by the authors. But, excluding the one concerning eosinophilic fasciitis and deep morphea, the authors seem to believe that the current differences are still justified, since the clinical picture and the levels of the histological lesions vary from one entity to the other. The nosological debate concerning eosinophilic fasciitis demonstrates also that a histologically recognized fasciitis has no complete specificity. By far, it goes beyond sclerodermia. Inflammation of the fascia is possible in the course of disseminated lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue inflammations. It is also described beyond connective tissue inflammations during rhizomelic pseudo-polyarthritis, and mostly in the course of three diseases: Texier's disease, drepanocytosis, and the spanish toxic syndrome, where it may be associated to a hypereosinophilia.
