Abstract
Epithelioid hemangioma, also named angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosi nophilia, is a very rare tumor that arises from vascular structures. T he relative incidence in the skin of the head and neck area is rather high as compared to other parts of the body. Three cases are reported in an atypical location and the differential diagnosis with other simi lar vascular lesions and their pathologic features is presented.
