Abstract EN

Eosinophilic fasciitis (Schulman's syndrome) is a rare disease with specific clinical symptoms such as the groove sign which facilitate diagnosis.

We report a typical case of eosinophilic fasciitis in an otherwise healthy 49-year-old man who presented with “prayer and groove signs”.

Histological analysis showed sclerosis and eosinophilic infiltration of the fascia.

The patient was successfully treated with systemic corticotherapy and Cyclosporine.

A short review of the clinicopathological features of the lesions is presented.
