Popis: Angio eccrine hamartoma (EAH) is a rare, benign tumoral lesion composed of eccrine glands and vascular structures in the mid dermis. We report on two observations in Dakar. Observation 1: A four-month-old infant was seen for an erythematous plaque, rounded, with a smooth surface, asymptomatic, localized to the right thigh, evolving for three months. The clinical appearance suggested a spitz tumour. Cutaneous histology confirmed the diagnosis of angioeccrine hamartoma. Observation 2: The second case was concerned with a ten-month-old infant received for an erythematous, atrophic plaque, localized at the level of the inter-gluteal fold, evolving since birth. This clinical aspect was suggestive of a sclero-atropic lichen. Cutaneous histology confirmed the diagnosis of angioeccrine hamartoma. Discussion: We reported two observations of HAE original by the rarity and the clinical presentations leading to confusion with a nevus of Spitz and the sclero-atrophic lichen. Cutaneous histology was of considerable contribution.
