Agiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia on the Lower Extremity: Case Report with Brief Review

چکیده
Page 16 Abstract Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also known as epithelioid hemangioma (EH), is an uncommon, benign vascular proliferation characterized by an inflammatory infiltrate composed primarily of eosinophils. In the current literature, there is little evidence of ALHE occurring on the lower extremities. We describe a rare case of ALHE occurring in a 48-year-old Caucasian female who presented with a pruritic, tender, palpable lesion on the right posterior thigh. Histopathological examination revealed increased dermal vasculature comprised of thick-walled blood vessels with protuberant hobnail endothelium. The lesion was diagnosed as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, and the patient was referred to a Mohs surgeon for local excision.
