Abstract

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign malformation characterized by a proliferation of eccrine glands and capillary vessels. Occurrence is mostly congenital and adolescent with few adult presentations. Clinically, it is characterized by plaques and nodules which could be symptomatic. The diagnosis of EAH is typically made after a histopathological evaluation. Treatment is mostly surgical. We report the case of eccrine angiomatous hamartoma in a thirteen-year old girl.
