Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in Behcet disease

Abstract

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a very rare vascular disesase which is seen typically in head and neck region and has an unknown etiology. It was first described by Wells and Whimster in 1969. It was later classified as histiocytoid hemangioma by Rosai. In this paper, angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia detected in a patient with Behcet disease is discussed with the literature review by focusing on its histomorphologic, clinic features and coexistence with Behcet disease. © 2009 OMÜ Tüm Haklari Saklidir.
