Her medical history revealed hypertension and no other comorbidities or relevant diseases in the family.
Dermatological examination revealed two lesions in the occipital region of approximately 1cm in diameter each, of angiomatous aspect and smooth surface (Figure 1A and and1B).1B). Blood count and renal function were both normal without eosinophilia. Biopsy of the lesion showed groups of thick-walled vessels with prominent endothelium and frequent vacuoles in endothelial cells (Figures 2A and and2B).2B). The vessels formed lobes surrounded by lymphocytic infiltrate with frequent eosinophils (Figure 2C), confirming the diagnosis of ALHE.
