Congenital Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma: A Rare Entity Revisited

Indian Dermatol Online J. 2018 May-Jun;9(3):188-190. doi: 10.4103/idoj.IDOJ_167_17.

Abstract

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign malformation characterized by eccrine and vascular components. It usually presents at birth or during early infancy or childhood on lower extremities as a nodule or plaque. We report a case of asymptomatic tumoral swelling over the left leg in a 5-month-old Indian infant since birth. This was diagnosed as EAH on histopathology and confirmed on immunohistochemistry.
