A Case of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia Aggravated During Pregnancy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare benign vascular tumor characterized by solitary or multiple red to brown papules or nodules found mainly on the head and neck of young adults (1). Although several factors have been implicated in the etiology, the exact causes of ALHE are still unknown (2). There have been only a few reports of pregnancy associated ALHE in the literature (1-4). Herein, we report a case of ALHE with postauricular location aggravated during the first trimester of pregnancy in a young woman.
