This article discusses a case of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) with atypical clinical presentation involving the skin and upper respiratory tract. EAF is a rare fibroinflammatory condition that primarily affects the orbit and upper respiratory tract. The case report describes a 17-year-old female who initially presented with a firm plaque on her thigh, which later became inflamed and coincided with upper respiratory tract infections. The patient was eventually diagnosed with EAF based on skin and nasal biopsies, and she responded well to treatment with methotrexate and prednisone. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing both cutaneous and upper respiratory involvement in EAF for accurate diagnosis and management. [Extracted from the article]
