Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia of the auricle:
progression of histopathological changes.
J Laryngol Otol. 2006 May;120(5):411-3.
Angiolymphoid
hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare condition that demonstrates
dermal or subcutaneous proliferation of endothelial cells associated
with an inflammatory cell infiltrate. A case is reported, with
emphasis on the histopathological features on repeated biopsies. The
report serves to stress the importance of considering this condition
in the differential diagnosis of lesions in and around the ear.
Angiolymphoid
hyperplasia with eosinophilia associated to a squamous cell
carcinoma of the ear.
Dermatol Surg. 2004 Oct;30(10):1367-9.
BACKGROUND:
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a benign vascular
proliferation that usually affects the head and neck region. METHOD:
An 89-year-old man who had a squamous cell carcinoma on the
posterior aspect of one ear developed lesions of angiolymphoid
hyperplasia with eosinophilia on the anterior aspect of the same
ear. RESULTS: After surgical treatment of the malignant neoplasm,
the lesions of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia
disappeared spontaneously. CONCLUSIONS: Damage to the vasculature of
the ear by the malignant neoplasm or the release of angiogenic
factors by the same neoplasm is a plausible explanation for the
development and eventual resolution of the vascular proliferation.
Pathological
lesions of the external auditory meatus: a review.:
J R Soc Med.

A closer
study of the pathology of the external auditory meatus shows that
there are various non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases of local
origin which are of great clinico-pathological importance. These
include Kimura's disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with
eosinophilia; progressive necrotizing (or malignant) external otitis.
Osteoma and ceruminoma are typical neoplasms of the external
auditory meatus which is also the site of polypoid granulomatous or
neoplastic structures arising from the middle ear cleft. These
so-called 'aural polyps' often dismissed as of little or no
diagnostic importance, may contain significant clues to a serious
underlying infection or to a malignant neoplasm. Profuse bleeding
may ensue on removal of such polyps. The histopathological features
and their significance are described and discussed.

A rare case
of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, or Kimura's disease,
of the external ear, occurring in a 21-year-old woman, is reported.
The lesion has recurred twice after surgical excision and
corticosteroid therapy was then elected. The clinical and
histological features of this disease are described.

Angioblastic
lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, or Kimura's disease, is a
clinically and histopathologically recognized entity that is
characterized by cutaneous nodules, proliferating blood vessels with
atypical histiocyte-like endothelial cells, and numerous eosinophils.
It has been treated with steroids and by surgical excision,
irradiation, cryotherapy, and electrodesiccation. Persistent
residual disease and local recurrence are frequent. We review the
literature and report two cases that involve the ear. We present the
histopathologic and clinical results of laser removal of a conchal
and external canal lesion.
