consider eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy and EC in patients with hematologic disorders to be identical, as the clinical and pathological features overlap between these diagnoses. Recently, Farber et al. suggested the term eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy because this term is a better descriptor of the pathologic process that encompasses the various hematologic malignancies associated with the eruption. This term, however, is still controversial. We followed the patient for 45 months, which is the longest follow-up reported to date. Our observations indicate that the relapse pattern of EC appears to be independent of the disease course of the underlying CLL. During the first 3 years, a total of seven EC events occurred in conjunction with a stable course of CLL. In contrast, despite the fact that CLL has been aggravated during the past 7 months, no EC relapse has been documented. Although more data are required to establish this relationship, these findings suggest that although EC may be associated with CLL, the course of both diseases is different and not in parallel.
