Zusammenfassung:Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is an uncommon benign condition characterized by cutaneous nodules involving primarily the head and neck regions of young adults. We report thecase of a 49‐year‐old woman with such a lesion in the arm. Sonographically, the lesion exhibited a hypoechoic rim and an echogenic central portion. On color Doppler imaging, the central portion was markedly vascular. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008.
