title: [Multifocal angioeccrine hamartoma associated with venous insufficiency].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Angioeccrine hamartoma is an uncommon skin disease. The typical aspect is that of a sometimes painful hemangioma often associated with localized hypersudation. There is almost always only one lesion, generally with a distal localization. Angioeccrine hamartoma usually occurs in childhood but neonatal and adult forms have been described.
  
  
  METHODS
  We observed a case of plurifocal angioeccrine hamartoma on the lower left limb in a 55-year-old man with homolateral venous insufficiency.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The plurifocal nature of the lesions and the association with venous insufficiency in the same territory would suggest that vascular disorders would be an underlying factor, especially since treatment of the venous disorder lead to initial improvement in the skin manifestations.
