Eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells’ syndrome) is a rare condition of unknown aetiopathogenesis and is characterized by erythemal plaques and a histological picture of eosinophilic infiltration of the dermis with ‘flame’ figures. Here we describe a patient with the papulonodular variant of eosinophilic cellulitis associated with an unusual hepatic dysfunction.
