Abstract

Introduction: Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma (EAH) is a rare benign tumor-like lesion seen in infancy and childhood and it involves mainly the extremities. It is very rare in neonatal age and more so on the scalp where the hemangiomas are more common. Case Report: We are reporting a rare case of EAH in a female neonate who presented with a single lesion on the scalp. Physical examination revealed a reddish soft tissue mass of 5x4 cm size on the scalp. Ultrasonography and C T Scan suggested it to be a vascular lesion. It was excised and histopathological examination revealed proliferation of eccrine glands and thin walled blood vessels making a diagnosis of EAH. Conclusion: Eccrine Angiomatous Hamartoma (EAH) can mimic a capillary haemangioma and surgical excision followed by histopathological examination is only the final word in making the diagnosis of this condition.
