Summary Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon benign vascular tumour. It presents with small, dull red papules or nodules usually on the ears and preauricular areas and only 20% of lesions are multiple. We report a case of multiple scattered lesions of ALHE in a patient who subsequently developed lichen amyloidosus. Cases of lichen amyloidosus in association with Kimura's disease have been reported previously, but there are no reports of lichen amyloidosus with ALHE. The coexistence of these two conditions implies that ALHE is an inflammatory disorder, as an inflammatory process resulting in basal layer damage is necessary for the occurrence of lichen amyloidosus.
摘要 嗜酸性粒细胞增多性血管淋巴样增生(ALHE)是一种罕见的良性血管肿瘤。其表现为通常出现在耳部和耳前区域的小的暗红色丘疹或结节,仅有20%的病变为多发。我们报告1例患者出现多发散在的ALHE病变,该患者随后发展为淀粉样变苔藓。此前曾有淀粉样变苔藓与木村病相关的病例报道,但尚无与ALHE相关的报道。这两种情况并存意味着ALHE是一种炎症性疾病,因为导致基底细胞层损伤的炎症过程是淀粉样变苔藓发生所必需的。
