Abstract

Eosinophilic fasciitis is characterized by skin induration, peripheral blood eosinophilia, hypergammaglobulinaemia and thickening, fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration of the fascia. There have been several reports of illness particularly haematological disorders in patients with eosinophilic fasciitis. However, their association with thyroid disorders has rarely been described and includes autoimmune thyroiditis rather than toxic thyroid adenoma. We describe a case of a 53-year-old woman with simultaneous association of eosinophilic fasciitis and subclinical hyperthyroidism caused by toxic thyroid adenoma. Corticosteroids, antithyroid drugs and radioiodine therapy were started, with a good follow-up
