Summary Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon disorder of unknown aetiology. Clinically, it is characterized by cutaneous papules or nodules on the head and neck and extra cutaneous involvement is rare. We report a 30‐year‐old woman who had an asymptomatic submucosal nodule on the upper lip, which histopathological showed features of ALHK and review the previously described 15 cases of oral ALHE.
