VILLANUEVA PENA, A. et al. Considerations about angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) with regard to a case localized in the penis. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2005, vol.29, n.1, pp.113-117. ISSN 0210-4806.

We report the case of a 27 years old man who presented a nodule in the ventral face of the penis, which increased in volume an turned painful during erection so a vascular lesion was suspected, later confirmed with a Doppler study. A complete excision of the lesion was carried out with local anaesthesia. The pathological specimen was informed as "angiolimphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia" in its intravascular form. This is the third communication of this kind of lesion in the penis but no other adopted the intravascular variant like the present case. We discuss about this exceptional entity and make review of the most relevant literature.
