Abstract:
An 8-year-old girl was seen in our outpatient clinic with a history of an angiomatous plaque on the chest since birth. She had complained of pain at the site of the lesion for 1 month. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis led to the diagnosis of glomangioma, a rare congenital plaquelike glomus tumor. We review the literature and discuss the clinical presentation and evolution of this rare entity.
