Why the study?
Intraoral lesions of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia are uncommon and tongue involvement is extremely rare.
This case report highlights an extremely rare presentation of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia involving the tongue.
Documents rare tongue ALHE; leaves open diagnostic criteria and management in larger series.
Angiolymphoid lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) represents a heterogenous group of benign vascular lesions that is characterized by proliferation of small to medium sized vascular structures lined by plump epitheloid (histiocytoid)endothelial cells surrounded by mixed inflammatory infiltrate predominantly eosinophils. Intraoral lesions of ALHE are uncommon and tongue involvement is extremely rare. Here we report a case of ALHE of tongue in a 60 yr old female diagnosed on histopathology and confirmed by IHC.
