LOPEZ LANZA, José Ramón; LOPEZ VIDERAS, Rocío; PEREZ MARTIN, Álvaro  e  SUAREZ CUESTA, Irene. Wells' syndrome presented as skin lesions and eosinophilia. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.1, pp.85-88.  Epub 20-Abr-2020. ISSN 2386-8201.

Wells’ syndrome or eosinophilic cellulitis is a rare skin disease characterized by the polymorphism of the lesions and by the increased presence of eosinophils both in the lesions and in peripheral blood. Its etiology remains unknown, and the lack of specificity of its lesions often makes diagnosis difficult. Skin biopsy is a key test (flame figures). The initial treatment is corticosteroids, though the disease can be self-limited, with no further outbreaks. We present the case of a woman with skin lesions associated with eosinophilia in the context of a Wells’ syndrome.
