          Abstract

          To date, both surgical excision and laser treatments for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) have resulted in scarring. Based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, we considered employing the newer long-pulsed tunable dye laser in the treatment of ALHE, as less scarring would be expected and deeper blood vessels could be ablated. After punch biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis, the patient was treated on two separate occasions, 2 months apart with a long-pulsed tunable dye laser. The lesions flattened after the initial treatment and resolved after a second treatment. No scarring was detectable and no recurrence was noted in follow-up after 1 year. We conclude that the long-pulsed tunable dye laser can be employed successfully to treat superficial lesions of ALHE, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas.
