A Case of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia
Published Online: Dec 31, 1998
Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is a benign, uncommon disorder of unknown etiology and usually appears as intradermal or subcutaneous, red to brown papules and/or nodules, usually located on the head and neck region, and occurring in young adults.
Histopathologically ALHE is an angiolymphoproliferative lesion which shows characteristically plump epitheloid or histioid endothelial cells, accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate that mainly consists of lymphocytes and eosinophils.
We reported a case of angiolymphoid hypreplasia with eosinophilia occurring on the scalp in a 52-year-old female and review the literature.
