angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia

An uncommon idiopathic condition with some features of Kimura disease, which presents in adults as one or more red-blue papules, plaques, or nodules in the head and neck, less commonly in the hands, shoulders, and elsewhere. It is unknown whether it is neoplastic or reactive.
