Unusual vascular tumour of the scalp in association with lymphoid aggregates: a variant of angiolymphoid hyperplasia?
A 51-year-old mason presented with a large tumour on his scalp which had developed over the previous 2 years. Histological examination showed the presence of large vessels with muscular coats some of which appeared to be venules and others arterioles. ⋯ There was no evidence of tissue or blood eosinophilia. The unusual clinical and histological features of this case are emphasized and the nosology of this rare condition is discussed.
