Zusammenfassung: | Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare, benign, slow-growing cutaneous lesion characterized by hamartomatous proliferation of the eccrine glands and vascular structures. It usually arises in early childhood; however, cases in adults have also been reported. It is diagnosed based on the clinical features of the lesion as well as the histopathological findings of the excised tissue. As the name indicates, EAH shows a close association with mature eccrine elements and capillary-sized blood vessels at the histopathological level. In rare instances, the vascular component can show the features of arteriovenous malformations. Here, we report a rare case of EAH with a component of arteriovenous malformation in a 39-year-old woman who presented with a foot lesion. |
