title: Epithelioid hemangioma (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) in the oral mucosa. A case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign uncommon entity whose aetiology and pathogenesis is under debate. Clinically, it is characterised by cutaneous papules or nodules. Cases of this entity reported in the oral mucosa are very rare. We describe such a case, discuss the problems of histological differential diagnosis between ALHE and other diseases of the region and review the literature.
