Abstract
- Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE) is a benign, uncommon disorder of unknown etiology, that usually appears as intradermal, subcutaneous or both, red to brown, papules and/or nodules, usually located on the head and neck of young adults and is often associated with peripheral blood eosinophilia. Extracutaneous lesions are rare. We report a 25 year-old male patient who had pruritic dark brown colored, moderately firm nodules and plaques on the left postauricular area, that histopathologically showed features of ALHE. He was treated with triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injection successfully.
