Late-onset eccrine angiomatous hamartoma: Clinical, histological and imaging findings

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is an exceedingly rare benign tumor-lik e lesion prevalent in childhood which may produce pain and marked sweating. Although an aggressive treatment is not generally indicated, surgery may b e considered in severe cases. In this report we present novel morphological findings by immunophenotyping, document the first MRI findings in EAH and emphasize the importance of preoperative imaging of such lesions.
