Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare vascular proliferation that typically manifests as pink to reddish brown papules or nodules. These lesions classically affect the face or neck. Involvement of other structures including the tongue, colon, salivary glands, and muscle are rare. Male urogenital involvement for example, had less than 30 cases reported. Here we present the third reported case of ALHE involving the scrotum in a 17-year-old male.
