title: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia showing characteristics of Kimura's disease.
abstract: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare benign condition affecting principally the head and neck region of young females. We describe a 42-year-old female patient of ALHE showing the typical changes of endothelial cells and features similar to Kimura's disease in histologic and immunohistochemical findings.
