Eosinophilic fasciitis is an uncommon connective tissue disease that may mimic and overlap with other sclerosing disorders such as morphea and lichen sclerosus. Herein, we report four patients (two men and two women, aged 16-64 yeas) with eosinophilic fasciitis. There was overlap with both morphea and lichen sclerosus in 2 patients and with morphoea alone in 1 patient. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for diagnosis in three patients and for assessing treatment response in one patient. Eosinophilic fasciitis may co-exist with morhoea and lichen sclerosus. In view of the overlapping clinical and histopathological features of these disorders, MRI may be helful in delineating the conditions by detecting involvement of fascia.
嗜酸性筋膜炎是一种罕见的结缔组织病，可能与其他硬化性疾病如硬斑病和硬化性苔藓相似并重叠。在此，我们报告4例嗜酸性筋膜炎患者（2例男性，2例女性，年龄16 - 64岁）。2例患者同时合并硬斑病和硬化性苔藓，1例患者仅合并硬斑病。3例患者采用磁共振成像（MRI）进行诊断，1例患者采用MRI评估治疗反应。嗜酸性筋膜炎可能与硬斑病和硬化性苔藓共存。鉴于这些疾病在临床和组织病理学特征上的重叠，MRI可能有助于通过检测筋膜受累情况来明确病情。
