ABSTRACT: Multifocal fibrosis is a rare condition occurring at any age and characterized by chronic inflammation, soft tissue proliferation and subsequent fibrosis of various vascular connective tissues. Following diagnosis in a 43-year accountant with multiple vascular lesions, the patients was treated successfully with azathioprine and steroids over a period of 3 years. Fatigue and sweating, serologic sign of inflammation and radiological imaging studies normalized completely. Twenty four months after termination of therapy, there were no clinical or serologic signs of relapse.
