ABSTRACT
An 11-year-old boy was admitted to our clinic with a three-week of history of infiltrated brownish plaques located on the right cruris anterior, on the medial side of the right popliteal area and on the left cruris anterior.
Histopathological examination showed flame figures which were composed of degenerated eosinophils and nuclear debris deposited on collagen fibers and laboratory analysis revealed eosinophilia. According to the clinical and histopathological findings, the case was diagnosed as eosinophilic cellulitis in the granulomatous phase. The case has been reported because of the rare presentation of eosinophilic cellulitis in children and the importance of the histopathology has been emphasized.
