[Angiolymphoid hyperplasia: clinico-pathological considerations]

Two cases of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia or Kimura's disease are presented. A nodular and papuoid pattern of presentation was observed. The first one is the histologic expression of the vascular and cellular components which were found in the subcutaneous fat whereas the latter was in the dermis. Clinical and pathological considerations were made to differentiate both illnesses. However, due to the overlapping of certain criteria it is considered that we are dealing with the same disease at different phases.
