The angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a vascular disease (or vascular tumor) uncommon, tumoral or reactive, with inflammatory characteristics, benign of unknown etiologic. The histological finds consist on the vascular proliferation of endotelial prominent cells and a chronic inflammatory interstitial infiltrator of leukocytes, histiocytes and eosinophils. It frequently affect to elder women in the third and fourth ages. Clinically, it is presented as papules or subcutaneous nodules, limited, only one or multiple nodules; in red, brown or purplish color that are frequently located at the level of the head, neck; in occasions, it is associated with pruritus and pain. The interest in presenting this case is due to its rare localization, its appearance in the male sex, the size, extension and infrequency of the lesion. The case consists in a 42 year-old masculine patient with multiple lesions in the left superior member's longitudinal axis. The biggest lesion is of 15 x 15 cm, located in the postero-internal part of the arm in its distals two thirds, limited, movable, not painful, with displacement of the muscular tissue, and structural deformity, with a diagnostic of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia according to histology (post-surgical biopsy).The evolution of the patient was satisfactory, and remains medically followed-up in case of possible relapses.
