A nice case of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophils.

I also thought epithelioid hemangioma. To my eyes, the endothelial changes are subtle in this case and there is a very prominent lymphoid infiltrate with germinal centers that you can see in this entity but are more frequent in Kimura's so should consider it in the differential (asian, lymphadenopathy?). On the other hand the history of recurrence is puzzling, so I guess we could add cutaneous pseudolymphoma to the differential.

Agree with the above discussion. I tend to interpret angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and Kimura’s disease as different entities, the former being a proliferative vascular disorder with a less extensive inflammatory infiltrate, and the later being a systemic inflammatory process with less extensive vascular abnormalities. Applying this attempt of a mnemonic pun, Kimura’s disease is the most likely diagnosis. However, as diseases do not use to read textbooks of medicine, microscopic features of both entities usually overlap in such a manner that the most advisable is establish the definitive diagnosis after clinicopathological correlation.
