Abstract :Hypereosinophilic syndrome is a rare condition characterized by persistent eosinophilia and multisystem involvement. Diagnosis is established after excluding secondary causes, and it can easily be overlooked when clinical features overlap with other diseases. Consequently, the diagnostic process becomes more challenging in patients with coexisting chronic respiratory disorders and a history of thromboembolic events. In our case, we present the diagnostic course of a patient with a 10-year history of asthma and two episodes of presumed idiopathic pulmonary thromboembolism within the past two years, who developed new bilateral pulmonary consolidations and a morphea-like skin lesion. Cases encountered in clinical practice do not always exhibit the classic presentations described in the literature; therefore, assessing each patient within their unique context through a holistic approach is essential for achieving accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.Keywords : hipereozinofili, pnömoni, astım, pulmoner emboli
