# Pregnancy-Related Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma: Case Report

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of a benign skin tumor that grew rapidly during pregnancy and was challenging to diagnose.

## Contribution

The paper presents a unique case of eccrine angiomatous hamartoma with rapid growth during pregnancy.

## Key findings

- The tumor showed rapid growth during pregnancy, which is unusual for this typically slow-growing condition.
- A superficial biopsy complicated the differential diagnosis due to the tumor's atypical presentation.
- The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing eccrine angiomatous hamartoma during pregnancy.

## Abstract

Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma is rare, slow-growing, and benign neoplasm that is diagnosed based on clinical characteristics and histological findings. It usually presents as a solitary nodule on the extremities and may arise at birth or in childhood. Although it is usually asymptomatic, in some cases it can cause pain and hyperhidrosis. From a histological perspective, it is characterized by an increase in the number of eccrine glands and a proliferation of vascular channels. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman who developed an eccrine angiomatous hamartoma in her right leg. The rapid growth of the lesion during pregnancy coupled with the challenges posed by a superficial biopsy, complicated the differential diagnosis.
