ECCRINE ANGIOMATOUS HAMARTOMA: A RARE CASE REPORT

Naqsh Thakur*, Yogita Bhansali and Tapsh Thakur

ABSTRACT

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign cutaneous lesion characterized by proliferation of eccrine glands associated with vascular components. It most commonly presents during childhood or adolescence, although congenital cases have also been reported. Clinically, it appears as a solitary, slow-growing nodule or plaque that may be tender, hyperhidrotic, or associated with hypertrichosis. Due to its rarity and variable presentation, EAH can be misdiagnosed as other vascular or adnexal tumors. Here, we present a case of congenital EAH in a 6-year-old female child who presented with a bluish nodular lesion over the left forearm since birth. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and the lesion was surgically excised with no recurrence at one-year follow-up. This report highlights the diagnostic importance of histopathology and the need for clinical awareness of this uncommon entity.
