Abstract

Background: Dermatologic lesions with notable eosinophilic infiltration of the head and neck region represent a diverse group of conditions, ranging from benign to malignant proliferations.

Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature review focusing on head and neck dermatologic conditions that commonly present with a prominent eosinophilic infiltrate.

Results: This review provides an overview of common entities showing prominent associated eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates in this region, including epithelioid hemangioma, eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells syndrome), eosinophilic folliculitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome), granuloma faciale, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).

Conclusion: Eosinophils play a key role in the pathogenesis of these disorders, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for differentiating these conditions, as they can share similar histologic features. This review aims to enhance understanding of these eosinophilic dermatologic conditions, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies.

期刊介绍： Head & Neck Pathology presents scholarly papers, reviews and symposia that cover the spectrum of human surgical pathology within the anatomic zones of the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary gland, ear and temporal bone, and neck. The journal publishes rapid developments in new diagnostic criteria, intraoperative consultation, immunohistochemical studies, molecular techniques, genetic analyses, diagnostic aids, experimental pathology, cytology, radiographic imaging, and application of uniform terminology to allow practitioners to continue to maintain and expand their knowledge in the subspecialty of head and neck pathology. Coverage of practical application to daily clinical practice is supported with proceedings and symposia from international societies and academies devoted to this field. Single-blind peer review The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
