[Inflammatory skin diseases and hypereosinophilia].

Among the dermatoses associated with tissue eosinophilia are pemphigus vegetans, bullous pemphigoid, granuloma facial and Wells' syndrome. Eosinophilic spongiosis can occur in the early stage of pemphigus. Pemphigus herpetiformis, a recently introduced term, does not represent a well defined entity but develops into either pemphigus vulgaris or pemphigus foliaceus. Granuloma facial is basically vasculitis. Eosinophilic cellulitis or Wells' syndrome shows numerous eosinophils which degranulate and through confluence of their granules form the so-called flame figures.
