Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is an unusual fibrotic condition affecting the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, of which there have been eight reported cases. The condition is thought to be associated with the rare skin disorder granuloma faciale, which is histologically identical, and was present in two cases of EAF. We report the third case where EAF and granuloma faciale occurred together, to highlight this type of intranasal fibrosis as a distinct pathological entity.
嗜酸性粒细胞性血管中心性纤维化(EAF)是一种影响上呼吸道黏膜的罕见纤维化疾病,目前已有8例报道。该疾病被认为与罕见的皮肤疾病面部肉芽肿有关,二者在组织学上相同,且在两例EAF患者中出现。我们报告第三例EAF与面部肉芽肿同时发生的病例,以强调这种鼻内纤维化是一种独特的病理实体。
