Abstract:

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare, vascular tumor that often creates diagnostic challenges because of its multiple possible presentations. This case report details a 34-year-old male who has had multiple itchy nodular lesions on his chin for three years while also dealing with diabetes. Histopathological analysis showed ALHE, with vascular proliferation and eosinophilic and lymphocytic infiltration. A surgical procedure was successful when followed by split-skin grafting. Diagnosis accuracy and surgical treatment effectiveness for ALHE become vital for Asian male patients because of their higher risk of developing this condition. Additional research is needed to create optimal treatment approaches.
