Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon diso rder of unknown aetiology, Clinically, it is characterized by cutaneou s papules or nodules on the head and neck, and extracutaneous involvem ent is rare. We report a 30-year-old woman who had an asymptomatic sub mucosal nodule on the upper lip, which histopathologically showed feat ures of ALHE, and review the previously described 15 cases of oral ALH E.
