Abstract

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is an uncommon idiopathic condition that presents with isolatedor grouped cutaneous plaques or nodules of the head and neck. Extracutaneous involvement is rare. ALHE is a distinct pathologic entity marked by a proliferation of blood vessels with distinctive large endothelial cells accompanied by a characteristic inflammatory infiltrate that includes eosinophils. The lesion is benign but may be persistent and difficult to eradicate. The authors have recently experiecned a case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in a 52-year-old male who had a painless enlarging mass in his right preauricular area and external ear canal for several years. We present this case with the review of literatures.
