Abstract EN

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also known as epitheliod hemangioma is an uncommon benign vascular tumor of the skin.

It usually presents as nodules and erythema over the ears, forehead, or scalp.

Histologically, the lesion is composed of a combination of immature blood vessels, endothelial cells with distinct epitheliod appearance and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration with numerous eosinophils.

Such a case occurring on the lower lip of a 55-year-old woman is presented.

The lesion was completely excised with clear margins.

Surgical resection is the preferred mode of treatment and is curative.
