eosinophilic fascitis, nuclear magnetic resonanceAbstract
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare disease, characterized by painful inflammation of the subcutaneous fascia and adjacent tissues. Skin involvement is usually present and is considered a scleroderma-like syndrome. Although the diagnostic confirmation is usually histological, magnetic nuclear resonance images are characteristic and can guide both the diagnosis and the biopsy site. Early treatment is of utmost importance in order to avoid progression to fibrosis with the consequent sequelae. We hereby present the case of a patient with a biopsy confirmed eosinophilic
fasciitis, with the particularity that there was not skin involvement.
