Five young children (mean age 26.4 months) with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Kimura's disease) from either the upper arm or buttock were identified over 18 months. The unusual distribution of the lesions and the young age of the patients suggested a possible association with immunisation. The clinical and histopathological features in these cases were accordingly reviewed. The b...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare disease characterized by single or multiple angiomatous lesions typically located on the scalp and the face. We present a retrospective analysis of 9 cases of ALHE. The lesions appeared largely as multiple grouped papules or, in some cases, subcutaneous nodules, located mainly on the scalp, particularly around the ear. We also observe...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also known as epithelioid hemangioma, is a chronic, benign vascular proliferation for which no cases of malignant transformation have been reported to date. Spontaneous resolution has been described in some patients, particularly in those with small lesions. ALHE is characterized by a high rate of recurrence (approximately 30%), regardless of ...

PURPOSE Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare disorder presenting with solitary or multiple nodules in the dermis or subcutaneous tissues. ALHE shares clinical as well as histopathological characteristics with Kimura disease (KD), but they have been considered to be two distinct entities based on their histological features. Orbital and adnexal involvement in ALHE is rare...
