A 51‐year‐old mason presented with a large tumour on his scalp which had developed over the previous 2 years. Histological examination showed the presence of large vessels with muscular coats some of which appeared to be venules and others arterioles. They had markedly swollen cuboidal endothelial cells and a surrounding mononuclear cell infiltrate which in areas formed lymphoid follicles some of which had germinal centers. There was no evidence of tissue or blood eosinophilia. The unusual clinical and histological features of this case are emphasized and the nosology of this rare condition is discussed.
