B. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia

This condition is common in middle-aged men. It usually affects the subcutaneous and dermal layers of the skin. There is significant proliferation of the vascular channels lined by plump endothelial cells. Surrounding these vessels is an abundant mixture of inflammatory cells, predominantly eosinophils (1).
