Eosinophilic annular erythema (EAE) is a rare eosinophilic dermatosis of unknown origin. It is seen most commonly in adults, but children can be affected as well. There are no established risk factors, including sex or racial or ethnic predilections. Most likely a reactive phenomenon, it is possibly related to annular erythema of infancy (AEI) or, as some suspect, on a spectrum with eosinophilic cellulitis (EC), also known as Wells syndrome.

EAE is marked by a recurrent, asymptomatic or pruritic, annular or gyrate erythema primarily affecting the torso and proximal extremities. Reported associated diseases include chronic hepatitis C, autoimmune pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal disease, chronic gastritis with helicobacter pylori infection, and some solid tumors (thymoma, prostate cancer, and renal cell cancer).
