Departments of Medicine A and Pathology, Bnai Zion Medical Center and the Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel Two patients who presented with discomfort in the calves while walking down a slope were diagnosed as suffering from eosinophilic fasciitis of the lower limbs. Following therapy of the underlying disease, this peculiar discomfort remitted concomitantly with the disappearance of the subcutaneous abnormalities. The authors posit that downslope claudication of the calves in eosinophilic fasciitis constitutes an additional variant of claudication of the lower limbs.
