Treatment of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia with the carbon dioxide laser.

Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon, idiopathic condition that presents with isolated or grouped plaques or nodules in the periauricular region, forehead, or scalp. ALHE is marked by a proliferation of blood vessels with distinctive large endothelial cells accompanied by a characteristic inflammatory infiltrate that includes eosinophils. The lesion is benign but may be persistent and difficult to eradicate. Various therapeutic modalities that have been tried for its treatment include intralesional and oral corticosteroids, cryotherapy, oral retinoids, vinblastine, surgical excision, laser therapy, and INFalpha2a. We report two cases with this rare condition: one patient, treated with cryotherapy, did not improve, while the second patient was successfully treated with the CO(2) laser.
