Abstract

Eccrine angiomatous hyperplasia is a rare benign hamartomatous lesion categorized by the proliferation of eccrine glands and small blood vessels. These lesions commonly involve the acral region appearing as papules, plaques, or nodules and may be associated with hyperhidrosis and pain. We present a 32-year-old male with massive bosselated swelling involving more than half of the lower limb, clinicoradiologically mimicking a neurofibroma.
