A Case Report of Atypical Migratory Shulman Syndrome

Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), or Shulman syndrome, is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by symmetrical and painful swelling and with progressive thickening of the skin and soft tissues with the potential involvement of internal organs such as the pleura, pericardium, and kidneys. Patients may also present with fever, myositis, arthritis, neuropathies, and other systemic symptoms. This case report describes a unique multifocal asynchronous soft tissue involvement in Shulman syndrome in a 39-year-old patient, highlighting clinical presentation, histopathological findings, differential diagnoses, treatment modalities, and patient outcomes. Atypical migratory skin lesions must be considered in the diagnosis of EF. Timely recognition of the disease is crucial for optimal treatment and better patient outcomes.
