Abstract
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a disorder whose aetiology i s still unknown. Genetic, allergo-immunological, infectious, hormonal and o ther causes are proposed in its aetiopathogenesis. Thus, many approaches to therapy are used, with miscellaneous effects and many recurrences. The dis seminated form of the disorder is very rare. Such a case, successfully trea ted with levamisol, is described. A brief review of other therapeutic modal ities is presented.
