Sonographic appearance of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in the upper arm.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon benign condition characterized by cutaneous nodules involving primarily the head and neck regions of young adults. We report thecase of a 49-year-old woman with such a lesion in the arm. Sonographically, the lesion exhibited a hypoechoic rim and an echogenic central portion. On color Doppler imaging, the central portion was markedly vascular.
