Thromboangiitis obliterans associated with peripheral blood and eosinophilic cellulitis‐like skin lesions

“Idiopathic Eosinophilic Vasculitis”: Another Side of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome? A Comprehensive Analysis of 117 Cases in Asthma-Free Patients

“…Radiological and histological findings. When reported, the angiography, Doppler ultrasound or other imaging results always suggested the presence of TAO, with various obstructions and/or widespread alterations in blood flow in distal arteries (n=11) (16,28,30,34,42,44,48,65,77,87). In two cases, an arterial biopsy confirmed the presence of EoV (16,30).…”

“…Only one patient of our series (personal case #2) and one patient identified in the literature review had a history of childhood asthma (48). Only 7 patients had a history of chronic sinusitis and/or allergic rhinitis (16,24,58,78,79,83) (case #6).…”

“…Clinical findings. (16,27,28,30,34,42,48,77,87). Six patients were described as heavy smokers (16,27,30,34,42,48).…”

“…In two cases, an arterial biopsy confirmed the presence of EoV (16,30). In 7 cases, a biopsy confirmed the presence of EoV at another site, including the skin (n=4) (27,34,48,65), the superficial temporal artery (n=3) (16,27,87) and muscle (n=1) (48).…”

Buerger’s disease-like arteritis associated with Crohn’s disease. A case of ‘vas-colitis’?

“…In the literature however, exist the descriptions of a disease mimicking Buerger's disease. So called Buerger's disease-like cases were observed in the course of hypereosinophilic syndrome, manifested by necrotic lesions of the distal parts of the hands or feet [10][11][12][13][14]. Many years of observation revealed in our patient leucopoenia and an increase in the percentage of eosinophils to 7.4% during exacerbation of the disease, which corresponded to the absolute number of 230 eosinophils/mL, and it did not meet the criteria for diagnosing hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) [15].…”
