Clinical, Dermoscopic and Histologic Features of Recurrent Cutaneous Eosinophilic Vasculitis Cases.
Actas Dermo-sifiliográficas 2018 June 22
Primary recurrent cutaneous eosinophilic vasculitis is a rare condition characterized by pruritic, erythematous, purpuric plaques associated to edema. We compared and analyze the clinical, dermoscopic and histological features of the disease in 4 patients from our hospital and 13 patients published in the literature. Seventeen patients were included, with a median age of 56yo, a median duration of disease of 6 months. Lesions were most frequently generalized (47%) or localized in lower limbs (41%). The most frequent features were purpuric color (71%), local edema (65%), necrotizing vasculitis (94%) and eosinophil infiltration (100%) in histology. Most of the patients (82.4%) were given oral steroids with a median dose of 30mg. Primary recurrent cutaneous eosinophilic vasculitis might be an infra-diagnosed condition. The analysis of the patients allowed us to propose diagnostic criteria for the definition of this disease. We suggest a therapeutic strategy with high-potency steroids and dapsone, which might be considered as first-line treatment.
