Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also known as epithelioid hemangioma, is an uncommon, benign vasoproliferative disorder (see Image. Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia With Eosinophilia). The pathogenesis of ALHE is not clearly understood. It usually presents with papules or nodules, mostly in the head and neck region. Rarely do the lesions appear in other body sites or affect extracutaneous tissues. The objective of the treatment is to address cosmetic issues and allow symptomatic relief. Multiple treatment modalities have been attempted, but unfortunately, none have had reproducible success. This activity reviews the presentation, evaluation, and management of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and stresses the role of an interprofessional team approach to the care of affected patients.
