Key result
Intralesional triamcinolone successfully treats angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in a 12-year-old boy.
Why the study?
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a recognized entity in adults, but its occurrence and treatment in children, particularly Caucasian children, is less described.
Case Report (n=1)
Intralesional triamcinolone was an effective treatment for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in a pediatric patient.
May support intralesional steroids for rare pediatric ALHE; hypothesis-generating and requires controlled trials before adoption.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia has become a well-recognized entity in adults. Kimura's disease is a similar and possibly identical disease occurring in Oriental children. This is a case report of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia occurring in a 12-year-old Caucasian boy with elevated levels of serum IgE. The condition responded to intralesional triamcinolone. A brief review of the literature is presented and various modes of therapy are discussed.
