Epithelioid haemangioma is a non-cancerous tumor typically found in skin and soft tissue of usually the head and neck region, where it presents with reddish-pink itchy painful bumps.[1] It can occur in bone as a type of vascular tumor of bone, where it can give rise to pain and swelling.[2]

It is made up of well-formed blood vessels lined by lymphocytes and eosinophils (types of white blood cells).[1]

It is also known as:[3] "Histiocytoid hemangioma," "Inflammatory angiomatous nodule," "Intravenous atypical vascular proliferation," "Papular angioplasia," "Inflammatory arteriovenous hemangioma," and "Pseudopyogenic granuloma") usually presents with pink to red-brown, dome-shaped, dermal papules or nodules of the head or neck, especially about the ears and on the scalp.[4]

It, or a similar lesion, has been suggested as a feature of IgG4-related skin disease, which is the name used for skin manifestations of IgG4-related disease.[5][6]
