摘要

Background

Dermatologic lesions with notable eosinophilic infiltration of the head and neck region represent a diverse group of conditions, ranging from benign to malignant proliferations.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive literature review focusing on head and neck dermatologic conditions that commonly present with a prominent eosinophilic infiltrate.

Results

This review provides an overview of common entities showing prominent associated eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates in this region, including epithelioid hemangioma, eosinophilic cellulitis (Wells syndrome), eosinophilic folliculitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome), granuloma faciale, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).

Conclusion

Eosinophils play a key role in the pathogenesis of these disorders, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for differentiating these conditions, as they can share similar histologic features. This review aims to enhance understanding of these eosinophilic dermatologic conditions, improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies.
