Abstract		A 49-year old man with eosinophilic pustular folliculitis with multiple pruritic papulopustular, more follicular lesions on erythematous base, mainly located in seborrheic areas, less on the shoulders, upper limbs and lateral parts of the thorax is presented. Routine laboratory investigations revealed eosinophilia, IgE hypergammaglobulinemia, and elevated serum levels of beta-2-micrglobulin. Histopathology from a skinlesion (biopsy) revealed enlarged hair hollicules, filled with eosinophiles and with eosinophilic infiltrates penetrating thesebaceous structure. Histopathology from a right axillar lymp node showed histological corresponding to the diagnosis of dermatopathic lymphadenitis. The presence of plasmocytoid monocytes could possibly indicate a preleukemic variant of the disease.
