A Case of Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma in Neurofibromatosis Type-1 Patient / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare, benign lesion characterized by an abnormal dermal proliferation of eccrine glands and vascular channels. It generally presents as a single asymptomatic nodule or plaque associated with pain or hyperhidrosis. It may be congenital or appear later in childhood. Thus far, there is only one case report of EAH arising in a American patient with known Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1). We describe a second case of EAH in NF-1 patient and suggest some possibilities for the association of EAH with NF.
