Dermoscopic Features of Two Cases of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia and Review of the Literature.
Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare benign vascular tumor that typically presents as papules or nodules that are pink or dull red in color and are located predominantly in the head and neck region. Mural damage or rupture of large intralesional vessels suggest that trauma or arteriovenous shunting may play a etiological role, and a history of trauma can be elicited in some patients. The lesions may be asymptomatic or may be painful, pruritic, bleeding or pulsatile. Some patients have regional lymph node enlargement and peripheral eosinophilia. Clinical diagnosis of this entity can be challenging especially in atypical presentations and dermoscopy might be helpful when considring ALHE as a differential diagnosis. To date, dermoscopic features of ALHE have been described in 3 cases [1,2]. Herein, we present 2 cases of ALHE with their dermoscopic features. Case Presentations
