eosinophilic granuloma complex

eosinophilic granuloma complex
any of several types of skin lesions in cats, of unknown etiology but apparently related to one another, characterized by lesions on the skin surface and eosinophilia of the dermis. There are three types: the mild eosinophilic ulcer on the lip; the circumscribed pruritic eosinophilic plaque, usually on the abdomen or groin; and the linear granuloma, usually on the thigh or near the mouth.
