Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, abbreviated ALHE, is a rare skin pathology.

General

  • Similar to Kimura disease.[1]
  • Very rare.
  • Typical patient: Caucasian, woman.[1]
  • Hypothesized to be a precursor to lymphoma.[2]

Gross

  • Location: usually head and neck.[2]
  • Skin papules or nodules.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Marked vascular proliferation.
  • Few lymphoid follicles.
  • Moderate eosinophils.

Negative:
