title: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia presenting with peri-ocular swelling.
abstract: Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and Kimura's disease share many clinical and histological features. Although they were once considered different stages of the same disease, they are now known to represent separate entities. Here a case is reported in a 14-year-old girl who presented with bilaterally symmetrical gradually progressive peri-ocular swelling involving both upper and lower eyelids of two months' duration. Peripheral blood showed eosinophilia, MRI scan of orbit revealed soft tissue mass in both lids encroaching into the globe, histopathology of biopsy specimen revealed angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. The case is reported for the peculiarity of presentation and rare location of the disease.
