Abstract
Eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is characterized by the presence of sclero derma-like changes in the skin, inflammation and thickening of the fas cia, associated with peripheral eosinophilia. Visceral involvement, te langiectasis, Raynaud's phenomenon, or gangrene of the digit is very u nusual in EF. We describe a patient with EF that was accompanied by Ra ynaud's phenomenon and gangrene of the finger due to occlusive vasculi tis of small and medium arteries in extremities.
