Resumo

A hiperplasia angiolinfoide com eosinofilia (HALE) é considerada uma lesão vascular benigna rara que acomete, principalmente, o tecido cutâneo e subcutâneo da região de cabeça e pescoço, mas incomum na cavidade oral. Sua etiopatogenia permanece indefinida, sendo descrita como proliferação vascular reacional, malformação vascular ou neoplasia. Tem como principal diagnóstico diferencial a doença de Kimura. Este trabalho relata um caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, de 50 anos, que exibia aumento de volume nodular na mucosa do lábio superior, com 3 cm de dimensão e 7 anos de evolução. Após a biópsia excisional, o exame histopatológico mostrou lesão bem encapsulada multilobulada com proliferação de capilares sanguíneos com células endoteliais de aspecto epitelioide, infiltrado inflamatório difuso com linfócitos, plasmócitos, inúmeros eosinófilos e presença de folículos linfoides. A análise imuno-histoquímica revelou positividade para CD34 e Ki-67, o que, juntamente com o exame morfológico, direcionou o diagnóstico para HALE.

Abstract

Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is considered a rare, benign vascular lesion that mainly affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck, but is uncommon in the oral cavity. Its etiology remains unclear and it has been described as a reactive vascular proliferation, vascular malformation or neoplasm. Kimura’s disease is the primary entity to consider in differential diagnosis. Here we report on a rare case of ALHE involving the upper lip of a 50-year-old male patient that had a nodular swelling with approximately 3 cm, 7 years after initial onset. An excisional biopsy was performed and histopathologic examination revealed a well-encapsulated, multi-lobed lesion with proliferation of blood capillaries, displaying endothelial cells of epithelioid appearance, diffuse inflammatory infiltrate with lymphocytes, plasma cells, numerous eosinophils, and presence of lymphoid follicles. Immunohistochemical tests were positive for the markers CD34 and Ki-67 that, in combination with the results of morphological examination, were suggestive of a diagnosis of ALHE.
