ABSTRACT
Epithelioid hemangioma, the term which was first used by Enzinger and Weiss, is synonymous with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. It defines a lesion occurring usually in the dermal and subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck, characterized by localized, marginated and relatively symmetrical proliferation of the capillaries around a medium-sized vessel with an epithelioid hyperplasia of endothelial cell. There is a marked inflammatory reaction composed of lymphocytes and eosinophils. We report a case of epithelioid hemangioma associated with nevus flammeus in a 53-year-old male. Histology revealed typical feature of epithelioid hemangioma that proliferation of dilated vessels with prominent endothelial cells surrounded by dense lymphoid cell infiltrates but no eosinophils were identified.
