A rare vasoproliferative lesion: angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia of the hand

Recurrent epithelioid hemangioma: therapeutic potential of tranilast and indomethacin

“…Substantial response to tranilast and indomethacin in our case suggested that EH is a reactive process rather than a neoplasm. Peripheral eosinophilia and elevated IgE level (32 and 25.3%, respectively) are occasionally present in patients with EH [6,11]. Both were seen in the current case and the tumor growth was relatively correlated with serum IgE level in our patient.…”

“…The most frequently affected sites are the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck region [3,5]. Less commonly, it has been reported to involve the extremities, especially the arms and hands [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The inguinal region is an atypical site of involvement.…”

“…The inguinal region is an atypical site of involvement. Regional lymphadenopathy or peripheral eosinophilia is present in 5-10% of patients with EH but is not essential for diagnosis [6,11]. Although EH is classified as a benign vascular tumor in the WHO classification published in 2002 [2], it is considered to be a type of low-grade neoplasm because of its potential to progress.…”

Epithelioid hemangioma of brachial artery: report of a case and review of the literature

“…About 22 cases have been reported, involving in order of decreasing frequency: temporal artery [14–20], radial artery [21–24], brachial artery [11, 12], ulnar artery [25, 26], axillary artery [27, 28], subclavian artery [29], facial artery [30], post-auricular artery [31], popliteal artery [32], common carotid artery [33] and occipital artery [12]. The lesion can grow entirely in the lumen of the blood vessel developing occlusive symptoms (such as weakening of the pulse in peripheral arteries) or it can originate from the vascular wall and developing outside with compression of adjacent structures.…”

“…The mainstay of treatment for ALHE is surgical resection of the entire mass [5]. Topical or intralesional steroids, radiation, and cryotherapy also have been used with mixed results [9].…”
