“…Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophiiia (ALHE) however, was reported in 1969 as a lesion similar to EGST (20). The eonsensus today seems to be that both EGST and ALHE are the same entity (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Some authors have claimed that there are suffieient and significant differences in the elinieal and pathologieal aspects of these two diseases (18,19).…”

Kimura's disease, eosinophilic granuloma of soft tissues, is a chronic inflammatory condition and appears as subcutaneous tumor‐like nodules in the head and neck regions. Histopathologically, it is characterized by the presence of lymphoid follicles, marked infiltration of eosinophils, fibrosis and vascular proliferation. This disease occurring in the orofacial region is relatively rare, only 14 cases having been previously reported. We describe 3 additional cases of Kimura's disease and discuss these in relation to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.

“…Emphasis should be made in its differential diagnosis with angiosarcoma [1,5,11], systemic proliferating angioendotheliomatosis [12], papular angioplasia [14], intravenous atypical vascular proliferation [8], angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia [7] and atypical pyogenic granuloma [13].…”

3 cases of cutaneous vegetant intravascular hemangioendothelioma are presented, 2 of them corresponded to a pure form, whilst the other arose in a pyogenic granuloma. All lesions behaved in a benign fashion. In some cases these may mimic an angiosarcoma (Masson’s pseudoangiosarcoma). The endothelial proliferation, which characterizes the lesion, is considered as a reactive phenomenon secondary to fibrin deposits originating from the destruction of the vascular walls of a hemangioma.

“…These blood vessels are accompanied by a variable infiltrate of inflammatory or reactive cells including eosinophils and in some cases well formed lymphoid follicles. The cases described by Wells & Whimster (1969) as subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and by Wilson-Jones & Bleehen (1969) as pseudo or atypical pyogenic granuloma, are thought to be part of the same disease spectrum (Mehregan & Shapiro 1971). The relationship of AHE to cases reported from China as eosinophilic granuloma of lymph nodes and soft tissue (Chang & Chen 1962) and from Japan as eosinophilic lymphofolliculosis of the skin (Kimura's disease) (Kawada, Tokahashi & Anzai 1965) and eosinophilic granuloma of soft tissue (Takenaka et al 1976) is less certain (Rosai, Gold & Landy 1979).…”

“…These authors suggest that the changes in the endothelial cells may be evoked by vasoactive amines from mast cells that were prominent in their cases or by serotonin from platelets. 1969, Kandil 1970, Mehregan & Shapiro 1971Castro & Winkelmann 1974 suggests that a Type I hypersensitivity reaction might have provoked this inflammatory reaction. In this respect it is noteworthy that two of the patients reported by Saxe & Kahn (1977) and our patient had asthma suggesting that AHE may be more prevalent in atopic individuals.…”

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia simulating lymphadenopathy

1981

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia (AHE) with eosinophilia presenting with recurrent inguinal swellings simulating lymphadenopathy is described. Tissue was examined by light microscopic techniques, electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Electron microscopy showed large numbers of cytoplasmic filaments and bizarre Weibel-Palade bodies in the atypical endothelial cells that characterize AHE. Factor VIII related antigen was demonstrated in a small proportion of these cells by immunoperoxidase staining. The absence of staining for lysozyme and alpha 1 antitrypsin does not support the concept that these cells are histiocytic in nature. The prominent lymphoid and plasma cell proliferative elements in this case showed a polytypic staining pattern for immunoglobulin. An unusual reticular staining pattern for IgE was observed in the lymphoid follicles. The nature and pathogenesis of AHE is discussed in the light of previous publications and the findings in this case.
