Multiple eccrine pilar angiomatous nevi, a rare variant of eccrine angiomatous hamartomas, presented as hairy nodules on a child's leg. Surgical excision is typically curative but may be complex for large, multifocal lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Pathology

Background:

  • Eccrine angiomatous hamartomas (EAH) are rare benign vascular tumors.
  • They typically present as solitary, slow-growing lesions.

Observation:

  • A 7-year-old girl had asymptomatic, bruise-like, hairy nodules on her lower leg since infancy.
  • Histopathology revealed increased vascularity, prominent eccrine glands, thickened collagen, and a terminal hair follicle.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with multiple eccrine pilar angiomatous nevi, an unusual variant of EAH.
  • This variant presents with distinct histopathological features including vascular proliferation and adnexal elements.

Implications:

  • While EAH are generally benign, multifocal presentations like this pose surgical challenges.
