RESUMO
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a disorder characterised by induration of the skin due to chronic inflammation and fibrosis of the subcutaneous septa and muscular fascia. It is different from sclerodermia. This is a clinical entity that presents as swelling, tenderness and stiffness of the extremities associated with peripheral eosinophilia. We described a patient with this disorder with 18 month of evolution who had a bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. Her disease appeared after steroid treatment. A review of medical literature demonstrated that similar clinical pictures are originated by different causes. Some authors propose to encompass this group of disorder under the designation of [quot]fasciitis-panniculitis syndrome[quot] instead of [quot]eosinophilic fasciitis[quot] although the well-known eosinophilic fasciitis is clearly recognized and demonstrated
