AbstractAngiolympoid hyperplasia with cosinophilia is a rare benign condition that causes swellings in the head and neck. It is difficult to diagnose prior to biopsy and is frequently mistaken for a malignant tumoour. A case involving a 21-year-old man who presented with a 2 cm diameter fiborous lesion the subcutaneous tissue of the cheek is reported. The clinical and histological features are reviewed and the differences between this condition and the similar condition of Kimura's disease are discussed. Initial treatment with intralesional or sustemic steroids is suggested as this may avoid the need for excision.

AbstractAngiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon benign condition characterized by cutaneous nodules with a predeliction for the head and neck region. Extracutaneous involvement is rare. We report a 44-year-old woman who had a large submucosal ALHE tumour in the parapharyngeal space. Our patient is of interest because of the unusual, and as far as we are aware from the literature, unique site and presentation of her lesion.

AbstractAngiolymphoid hyperplasia is a rare benign condition affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck. Superficial (intradermal) lesions frequently affect the external ear and such a case presenting to an otolaryngologist is described. Clinically the disease is characterized by single or multiple plum-coloured nodules or plaques which are often itchy and may bleed with mild trauma. Histologically the lesions are composed of proliferating capillary vessels associated with a heavy inflammatory infiltrate including eoosinophils and mast cells.The cause remains obscure. The lesions often persist for many years and may regress spontaneously. Several forms of treatment have been used, including cryosurgery, curettage and diathermy, radiotherapy and intralesional steroid injections. In this case the Argon laser was employed.
