Abstract:
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is a subcutaneous angioproliferating tumor with a characteristic inflammatory infiltrate that consists mainly of lymphocytes and eosinophils. A 33-year-old man was presented with pruritic erythematous to brownish pea-sized nodules on the right posterior auricle. Histopathological findings are proliferation of blood vessels lined with epithelioid endothelial cell and perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils. We report a typical case of ALHE and review the reported Korean cases.
