Eosinophilic panniculitis in wells syndrome: A unique association

Abstract

Sir, Wells syndrome (WS) is a rare inflammatory dermatoses first described by Wells in 1971.[1] It is characterized by acute, recurrent, and inflammatory urticarial and cellulitis-like indurated plaques with diffuse tissue eosinophilia, marked edema, and fibrinoid “flame figures.” [2] Eosinophilic panniculitis (EP) is a rare type of panniculitis with prominent eosinophilic infiltration of subcutaneous fat.[3] Both are rare entities by themselves; their association is even rarer.
