Abstract

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is a rare hamartomatous lesion characterized by proliferation of eccrine glands and small blood vessels, and occasionally other elements. It generally arises congenitally or later in childhood, as solitary or multiple lesions on the distal extremities. Adult-onset multiple lesions are very rare. Herein we describe a 33-year-old male with symptomatic multiple eccrine angiomatous hamartoma lesions.

Keywords: eccrine gland; hamartoma; hyperhidrosis.
