An ultrasound halo sign surrounding the temporal artery is a well recognized feature associated with giant cell arteritis. We report a previously unreported case of this halo sign being present around the temporal artery due to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) in a young female patient.
