A case of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilla Associated with Arterlovenous Malformations / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign, uncommon disorder of unknown etiology, that usunlly appears as papules or nodules on the head and neck. Histopathologically, ALHE is a angioproliferating lesion which shows characteristically plump epithelioid or histiocytoid endothelial cells, accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate that mainly consists of lymphocytes and eosinophils. We report a case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophila associated with arteriovenous malformations in a 23-year-old man. In our patient, we observed arteriovenous malformation, changes which could have occurred by vascular repair due to a vascular malformation.
