Eosinophilic fasciitis is a rare disease in children. Although changes similar to linear scleroderma have been reported, the outcome is usually good. In this report, a 10-year-old boy who developed eosinophilic fasciitis without a good response to steroids is presented. He progressed to linear scleroderma within months. Our case reinforces the hypothesis that eosinophilic fasciitis may be an early manifestation or a variant of localized scleroderma similar to the other cases in the literature.
嗜酸性筋膜炎在儿童中是一种罕见疾病。尽管已有类似线状硬皮病改变的报道，但预后通常良好。在本报告中，介绍了一名10岁男孩，他患嗜酸性筋膜炎，对类固醇治疗反应不佳。他在数月内进展为线状硬皮病。我们的病例强化了这样一种假说，即嗜酸性筋膜炎可能是局限性硬皮病的早期表现或一种变体，类似于文献中的其他病例。
