Key result
Radical excision treats rapidly growing angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in an HIV-positive patient.
Why the study?
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon benign vascular lesion with unknown cause and unclear optimal treatment strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report illustrates therapeutic options and long-term follow-up for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in an HIV-positive patient.
ALHE may grow rapidly in HIV; leaves open optimal therapy selection in immunocompromised patients.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon benign vascular proliferative lesion of unknown cause. In this report, a case is presented of a patient who was confirmed to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus and in whom the lesion had shown rapid accelerated growth. The case is used to illustrate a variety of therapeutic techniques and to evaluate the effectiveness of the various alternatives in the treatment of this unusual clinical problem. Long-term follow-up after radical excision of the tumor mass is presented.

Cheney et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Histiocytoid Hemangioma) (n=1). Radical excision and other therapeutic techniques was evaluated on Effectiveness of therapeutic techniques and long-term follow-up. Radical excision and other therapeutic techniques were evaluated for the treatment of a rapidly growing angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in an HIV-positive patient.
