Abstract
Flame figures are a characteristic histologic feature of Well''s syndrome (eosinophilic cellulitis). In this light microscopy and EM study, the ultrastructure of [human] flame figures is described. Collagen fibers were encrusted with free eosinophil granules. No collagen damage was found. Flame figures most probably represent a transient result of unusual eosinophil activity.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
