Abstract

Intoduction: Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is an extremely rare and benign malformation in adults which presents with single or multiple nodules or single large plaque over the extremities at birth with pain and marked sweating. On histopathological examination,there is increased proliferation of eccrine sweat glands and capillary vessels in the dermis. Herein we report a 43 year-old male who presented with a single hyperpigmented plaque over the hypothenar eminence of right palm associated with excessive sweating for 3 months duration.Biopsy from the lesion was suggestive of eccrine angiomatous hamartoma.This case has been reported due to it's unusual adult onset.
