Diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia is a distinct condition. This study presents three cases, detailing their clinical, laboratory, and histologic findings, and comparing them to scleroderma.

Area of Science:

Rheumatology
Pathology
Dermatology

Background:

Diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia (DFE) is a rare connective tissue disorder.
Understanding its distinct clinicopathologic features is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

Presents three cases of DFE with comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and histologic follow-up.
Histologic comparison with scleroderma was performed to differentiate the conditions.

Findings:

Diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia demonstrates unique clinicopathologic characteristics.
Histologic analysis supports DFE as a distinct entity separate from scleroderma.

Implications:

This research clarifies the diagnostic criteria for diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia.
