A rare case of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome [IHES] presenting with generalized body swelling

Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) is a rare disorder with unexplained, non-reactive over production of eosinophils along with multiorgan dysfunction. IHES has a multitude of cutaneous manifestations as the dominant presenting symptom. We report a rare case of IHES, where the patient presented with unusual, generalized body swelling and thickened indurated skin. According to our knowledge similar cutaneous presentation has not been reported in the literature.
