Epithelioid haemangioma |
Kimura’s disease |
Ethnicity |
Occurs in all ethnicities [57]. |
Predominantly affects Asian males [57]. |
Location |
Superficial and smaller lesions [57]. |
Subcutaneous involvement with extension to lymph nodes, underlying soft tissue, and salivary glands [57]. |
Complete blood counts and serology |
Lacks high IgE and eosinophils in peripheral blood [57]. |
High IgE, eosinophils in peripheral blood, and eosinophilia. Could be misdiagnosed as nephrotic syndrome, asthma, tuberculosis, or Loeffler syndrome [57]. |
Epithelioid morphology |
Epithelioid endothelial cells line all blood vessels [57]. |
Proliferation of post-capillary venules lined by plump endothelial cells [57]. |
Overlapping morphologic features |
Lymph follicles with germinal center formation and abundant eosinophils (less intense than in Kimura’s disease) [57]. |
Lymph follicles with germinal center formation and abundant eosinophils (more intense than in EH) [57]. |
Eosinophilic microabscesses and Charcot–Leyden crystals |
Negative [57]. |
