مستخلص: The article discusses a case study of a 15-year-old girl with eosinophilic fasciitis, a rare connective tissue disease characterized by skin and soft tissue thickening. The patient underwent a PET/CT scan, which revealed metabolically active nodules in the muscular fasciae and subcutaneous tissues, confirming the diagnosis. The study highlights the importance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing eosinophilic fasciitis in pediatric patients, emphasizing the challenges of pediatric onset and the need for accurate diagnostic tools.
