Eccrine angiomatous hamartoma (EAH) is a rare, benign cutaneous lesion histologically defined as a proliferation of eccrine glands within a closely associated vascular stroma. Typically EAH presents as a solitary flesh‐colored, hyperhidrotic, painful papule or plaque appearing at birth or during childhood. Only two previously reported cases have been described involving multiple, symmetrically located lesions. The occurrence of knuckle pads in patients with EAH has not been reported. We present an instance of multiple painful EAH lesions occurring symmetrically on the extensor wrists in a 14‐year‐old girl with knuckle pads.
