“…Trauma, infections and renin or hyperestrogenic conditions (pregnancy or oral contraceptive agents) are considered to be the likely causes. [ 10 11 ] Infection was considered as the etiological factor in the present case report, because it was learned from his anamnesis that swelling caused by an infected first molar tooth a year ago induced the pathology in that region.…”

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also called epithelioid hemangioma, is a rare benign vascular lesion usually affecting the muscular arteries of the head and neck in female patients. Here, we report a 30-year-old male patient who presented with painless swelling in the angle region of the mandible. The diagnosis of the specimen, which was surgically removed under local anesthesia, was made as ALHE. The patient has remained uneventful for 3 years.

“…Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but as the lesions are often multilobulated and poorly delineated, local recurrences occur in 33–50% after standard surgical excision. Mohs micrographic surgery with complete margin examination has been considered [5]. However, surgery can be disfiguring and difficult, especially in the case of periauricular lesions.…”

A Long-Term Follow-Up of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia Treated by Corticosteroids: When a Traditional Therapy is Still Up-to-Date

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare and idiopathic vascular disorder. It is characterized by red to brown papules or nodules dislocated in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. These lesions are typically localized on the head and neck, particularly around the ear as singular or multiple nodules. Although ALHE is a benign disease, lesions are often persistent and difficult to eradicate. ALHE can occur in all races, but it is reported more frequently in Asians. Young to middle-aged women are more commonly affected. The histological examination corresponds to a florid vascular proliferation with atypical endothelial cells surrounded by a lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltrate. We describe the case of a 67-year-old Caucasian man with a nodular lesion in the right postauricular region for 3 years. The histological examination was consistent with ALHE. Monthly intralesional corticosteroid injections were performed for 6 months, and complete remission was achieved. After 10 years of follow-up, the patient is free of recurrence.

“…[1] Numerous other therapeutic approaches have been described, including electrodessication, cryotherapy, interalesional steroid injections, and Moh's micrographic surgery, amongst others. [1,3,4,8,11,[17][18][19] Notably, treatment with vascular-specific pulsed dye lasers (PDL) has been shown effective, with a recurrence rate only slightly higher than surgical excision. [1,10,[19][20][21][22] PDL efficacy is not surprising, given the vascular nature of ALHE lesions.…”

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon benign vascular proliferation characterized by isolated or grouped red-brown papules or nodules, most often located on the head or neck. Treatment of ALHE is difficult, with high recurrence rates reported across a myriad of different interventions. We report an atypical clinical presentation of ALHE that was successfully treated with a novel dual-therapeutic approach consisting of surgical excision followed by treatment with the pulsed dye laser.
