We report on a 65-year-old woman with typical clinicopathologic features of eosinophilic fasciitis (Shulman syndrome) who suffered from lower limb ischemia and abdominal aorta aneurysm. Physical examination, laboratory data and histopathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of eosinophilic fasciitis. The patient underwent aorto-bifemoral vascular prosthesis implantation. Tissue reactions associated with eosinophilic fasciitis produced serious disturbances of the implanted graft healing.
