[Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Kimura disease)].
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is characterized by the appearance of tumour-like nodes on skin and subcutaneous fat. Vascular proliferation with inflammatory infiltration consisting of lymphocytes and eosinophiles, as well as structures of lymphoid follicle type were revealed microscopically. A description is given of a patient, 34 yr. old, with typical clinical and morphological manifestations of ALHE. Basing on the literature and on the own experience the authors suggest that ALHE and Kimura disease are variants of one nosologic form.
