Eccrine angiokeratomatous hamartoma: case report of a 1.5-year girl.

Eccrine angiokeratomatous hamartoma is a rare newly defined vascular lesion of the skin, the first case of which was reported in 2006 (Kanitakis J, Ly A, Claudy A. Eccrine angiokeratomatous hamartoma: a new variant of eccrine hamartoma with angiokeratoma. J Am Acad Dermatol 2006; 55: S104-6). On web Literature Search, Only three previously documented cases of the lesions were found. A 1.5-year-old female child presented with a painless lesion on her right leg since birth which has been gradually increasing in size and recently developed central ulceration. Histological examination of the excised lesion confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first of the cases to be reported in paediatric age-group (<2 years).
