Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioma or Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare benign vascular disease, characterized by solitary or multiple angiomatous papules and nodules, which are usually located on the skin of scalp and face (mainly in the preauricular zone); these have characteristic histological and immunohistochemical patterns, in particular characterized by an important lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrated with many eosinophils and vascular proliferation of capillaries with endothelial cellular changes. In this paper, four cases of this disease are reported, in the first series of Ecuadorian cases described in the literature.
