Eosinophilic Fasciitis with Isolated Hand Involvement: A Diagnostic Challenge

Dear Editor, We present this case to highlight an atypical clinical manifestation of eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), which predominantly involved the hands without systemic features—a scenario rarely reported in the literature. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by localized EF and emphasizes the importance of early recognition to prevent irreversible fibrosis.

Abstract

Dear Editor, We present this case to highlight an atypical clinical manifestation of eosinophilic fasciitis (EF), which predominantly involved the hands without systemic features—a scenario rarely reported in the literature. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by localized EF and emphasizes the importance of early recognition to prevent irreversible fibrosis.
