  We report a case of a 67-year-old Caucasian man who was admitted to the emergency department with severe and generalized oedema accompanied by a rash of both lower legs. The patient was treated with loop diuretics throughout four months without success. Laboratory examinations displayed a leukocytosis with a high proportion of eosinophils. A comprehensive diagnostic work up was started. Finally, a full-thickness skin biopsy including fascia showed eosinophilic infiltration suitable for an eosinophilic fasciitis.
