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.
