Abstract
Angiomyomatous hamartoma (AMH) is a rare disease with predisposition
for inguinal and femoral lymph nodes. Histologically, it is characterized by
replacement of lymph nodal parenchyma with irregularly distributed thick walled
blood vessels, haphazardly arranged smooth muscle cells, variable amount of
fat and fibrous tissue in a sclerotic lymphatic stroma. Few cases have also been
reported in popliteal and sub ‑ mandibular location. The exact pathogenesis
is still not known. Although this entity is very rare, its recognition is important
in discriminating it from other benign and malignant vascular lesions of lymph
nodes.
