“…16) Occasionally, ALHE leads to peripheral blood eosinophilia. 17) In our ALHE case, the patient revealed with the eosinophilia preoperatively; however, interestingly, the eosinophilia resolved after the resection of ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm. Furthermore, ALHE affecting large muscular arteries is extremely rare, and a review of the literature revealed only a few reports of ALHE affecting arteries in the extremities.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to review the experience of aneurysms in the upper limbs treated with surgery and assess the outcomes. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of five patients with upper extremity aneurysms treated with surgical resection at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital between March 2000 and February 2012. These patients were treated with excision surgery either with or without reconstructive surgery. Results: Two of the five patients were males and three were females with a mean age of 52 years (age range: 25-72 years). We treated 2 brachial, 2 ulnar, and 1 radial aneurysms. All aneurysms were excised, and two patients had reconstructive surgery. Three patients had false aneurysms, which included an ulnar artery aneurysm diagnosed as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. During follow-up period, all grafts were clinically patent, and no cases had recurrent lesions. No patients had ischemic symptoms or any other postoperative complications. Conclusion: Arterial aneurysms of the upper extremities are uncommon, and were most commonly caused by non-traumatic etiology in this series. These aneurysms were excised with or without reconstructive surgery, because of the fear of rupture and embolization. Revascularization can be performed selectively.

“…In support of the distinct entity hypothesis, several cases of JTA without endothelial proliferation have been reported. 4,10,11,32,33 To support the alternative hypothesis, involvement of the other medium muscular arteries (eg, facial and radial) by a process with histopathologic findings of ALHE has been reported, [34][35][36][37][38][39] although frequently with no evidence of arteritis. 39 Several cases with histopathology of JTA have been reported in conjunction with systemic abnormalities, such as nephrotic syndrome, eosinophilia of 31% with multiarterial involvement (including bilateral temporal artery involvement), and history of lymphoma.…”

“…The overall 5-year mortality is low and chemotherapy or radiotherapy usefulness has not been demonstrated. 5,7,8 We present a case of ALHE presenting skin and multiple vascular lesions in the upper extremity. One of these lesions was associated with an aneurysm of the radial artery, which is an unusual presentation.…”
