Abstract:
Subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia is an uncommon disease characterized by eosinophilia, proliferation of the capillary vessels and lymphoid tissue and infiltration of the inflammatory cell, especially eosinophils. The etiology of the disease are obscure, but probably trauma, lower grade infection, nervous factor & hormonal status etc. The predilection sites are face, ears, scalf & neck, but rarely reported in the extremities. We experienced a case of subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia of the inguinal region and anteromedial side of the proximal thigh in a 10 year-old man who complained pain and tenderness on the above region. The patient was treated by excision with satisfactory result.
