Adult-onset Multiple Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma in Enlarging Hairy Plaques

Sir, Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign hamartoma of eccrine glands and blood vessels. It most commonly develops before adulthood as a single, slowgrowing lesion on the extremities. We describe here a case of adult-onset EAH with generalized multiple hairy reddish-brown indurated plaques with a rapidly progressive course. As the lesions showed histopathological findings such as an increase in mature eccrine glands and blood vessels, the diagnosis was determined to be EAH. This case was observed carefully because the lesion had characteristics not only of a hamartoma but also of a tumour.
