Venipuncture trauma precedes angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in the first documented case.
Documents the first case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia occurring after venipuncture trauma.
Single case does not alter venipuncture or ALHE management; leaves open trauma as a possible trigger.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), also known as epithelioid hemangioma, is a benign vascular proliferation of uncertain etiology. Herein, we present the first documented case of ALHE following venipuncture and review the published work regarding the relationship of this entity to preceding trauma.
