Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH), is a rare condition characterized histologically by normal epidermis with dermal features of hyperplasic eccrine glands and increased numbers of blood vassels lesions take the form of nodules or plaques, often with a bluish colour and angiomatous appearence, most commonly found in acral skin where eccrine glands are numerous.
