A case of multiple congenital epitrichial sweat gland hamartomas in a 2‐day‐old piglet is presented. The skin lesions were raised, ovoid to linear in configuration, alopecic, red‐purple to pink, and cauliflower‐like to cerebriform in appearance. Histological examination of skin specimens confirmed a diagnosis of epitrichial sweat gland hamartoma. Complete necropsy examination revealed no other lesions.
