Abstract:
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign uncommon disorder of uncertain etiology. It presents as solitary or multiple intradermal or subcutaneous red to brown papules or nodules usually on the head and neck. Overlying epidermis is usually intact. Oral involvement such as lip or oral mucosa is quite rare, and presents as a nodule, macule, plaque, tumor, and ulcer. We report a 68-year-old female patient presenting erythematous ulcerated and crusted patch on the lower lip. Histopathological diagnosis was ALHE and overlying actinic cheilitis.
