Auricular angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon, benign, angioproliferative cutaneous disorder. Previously, angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and Kimura's disease were regarded as identical conditions, however, recent work identifies them as separate entities. It is clinically manifested by solitary or multiple, red to brown firm papules and nodules, occurring in the head and neck region with a predilection for the peri-auricular area. It usually occurs during the early and mid-adult life. It is more common in Caucasians with equal gender involvement. We report this condition in a 32 years old adult Pakistani male having red-brown papules in left ear.
