Angiolymphoid hyperplasia in a tissue expansion specimen: A case report
Keywords:
Expansion tissue, Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophiliaAbstract
Tissue expansion is a technique that takes advantage of the viscoelastic properties of the skin by distending it using a series of injections through a valve of a silicone device. This tissue is subsequently used for repair and to cover defects. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a vasoproliferative disease that manifests clinically as nodular tumors. The clinical case is presented of a patient with tissue expansion in whom angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia was an incidental finding in the histopathology of the capsule. To the knowledge of the group presenting this work, this is the first in which both conditions are linked.
