Abstract

Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a localized form of systemic sclerosis. The etiology of EF is still unknown. The extremities. are affected most commonly, also it could be seen in rest of the body. It is caracterized by fascial inflammation, oedema, and thickening and sclerosis. Internal organ involvement is uncommon in this disease. Sometimes it could be seen together with pulmonary fibrosis, hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, and Sjogren syndrome. EF responds corticosteroids but recurrens may be seen. In this report we described a seldom case in three patients with EF.

Özet

Eozinofilik fasiitis (EF), etyopatogenezi tam olarak bilinmeyen sistemik sklerozun lokalize bir formudur. Daha çok ekstremiteleri tutmakla birlikte vücudun diğer yerlerinde de oluşabilmektedir. Fasianın inflamasyonu, ödemi, kalınlaşması ve sklerozis bu hastalığın karakteristik özelliğidir. Genellikle iç organ tutulumu görülmemektedir. Bazen pulmoner fibrozis, hemolitik anemi, aplastik anemi, Sjögren sendromu gibi klinik tablolarla birlikte görülebilmektedir. Kortikosteroidlere cevap vermekle birlikte hastalığın tekrarlama özelliği vardır. Nadir görülen bu hastalığı 3 olgu ile literatür ışığında gözden geçirdik.
