Abstract:
We report a case of histiocytoid hemangioma (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) in a 60 year-old female patient who was effectively treated with dapsone. The therapeutic effect of dapsone may support the hypothesis that immunologically mediated reactive process plays a role in the pathogenesis of histiocytoid hemangioma.
