We herein report two cases of eosinophilic annular erythema in adults, which is
rare. In both patients, lesions developed rapidly in few days and were located
mainly on the trunk, buttocks, and extremities. Diagnosis was histopathological,
with typical features including acute dermal inflammatory infiltrate with
abundant eosinophils. One of the patients recurred after treatment on three
occasions and finally cured spontaneously. The second patient recurred once and
was then successfully treated with topical clobetasol. Clinical and
histopathological features of eosinophilic annular erythema in adults have
rarely been reported. A review of the literature and discussion of relationship
with Wells syndrome are also included.
