SummaryMucinous eccrine naevus (MEN) is an extremely rare variant of eccrine naevus. There are only nine reported cases in the English literature. We report a 3-monthold boy with a congenital lesion on the lower back, and review the other cases in the literature. In most cases, MEN presents before puberty. The commonest presentation is a unilateral, solitary, brownish nodule without hyperhidrosis occurring on the legs. The diagnosis of this condition is confirmed by the characteristic histopathological features. Treatment options may be considered if symptomatic.

The hamartoma affects both genders equally and is reported in Asians more frequently.…”

An otherwise healthy 16-year-old boy presented for evaluation of a painful, occasionally sweaty, plaque on his distal toe of the left foot for 1-year duration (Figure 1). He was previously treated with topical fusidic acid, bifonazole, and intravenous cefuroxime, without any improvement. The patient denied any history of gout, trauma, or insect bites. Physical examination revealed a tender edematous erythematous plaque on his left digitus minimus. Laboratory investigation including complete blood count, C reaction protein, and comprehensive metabolic panel was all within normal limits.A biopsy specimen was obtained for histopathologic analysis (Figure 2A-B).
