Abstract
Wells syndrome is a distinctive disease entity with a wide polymorphism of clinical and histological features, unspecific, and varying depending on the age of the lesions. Various triggering factors are involved, but this syndrome may also reveal hematological disorders. Cutaneous manifestations often occur before the hematological diagnosis, but are frequently misdiagnosed. Only two other cases of Wells syndrome associated with Vaquez disease have been reported. Our case report underlined the importance of systematic research for an hemopathy in Wells syndrome, especially in young patients.
