Activity Description

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.


Target Audience

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Interpret the typical history and physical exam findings in a patient with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

  • Evaluate the typical histopathological findings associated with angiolymphoid hyperplasia.

  • Compare the therapeutic options for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

  • Communicate the importance of improving coordination amongst the interprofessional team to enhance care for patients affected by angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.
