Scalp biopsy reveals rare angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in a 65-year-old man.
Case Report (n=1)
ALHE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules confined to the face and neck, even in older patients.
ALHE may occur in elderly scalp nodules; this case report leaves open its routine inclusion in differentials.
We describe a 65 year-old man presenting with a scalp nodule of 1 year duration on his left parietal area.The biopsy taken from the lesion, showed increased vascular proliferation, edematous endothelial cells, lymphoid cells and dense eosinophilic infiltrate.The routine and specific blood tests were unremarkable.On the basis of these features, the patient was diagnosed as having angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE).We present the case because of its rarity in older people, ability to recur; and stress the consideration of ALHE in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous nodules confined to face and neck.

Bajpai et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia (n=1). Excisional biopsy was evaluated on Histopathologic diagnosis. A 65-year-old man presenting with a scalp nodule was diagnosed with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, highlighting its rare occurrence in elderly patients.
