Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia responsive to pulsed dye laser.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon, benign, but potentially disfiguring vascular proliferation. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia commonly affects women in the third decade. Although a benign process, significant morbidity can occur including bleeding, pain, and disfigurement. Several therapies have been attempted including curettage, cryotherapy, retinoids, excision, and various lasers. We report on a case of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia responding to pulsed dye laser therapy (585 nm) (SPTL-1a, Candela Corp, Wayland, Mass).
