Multiple glomus cell tumours--treatment by infra-red coagulation
Clinical and Experimental Dermatology
|January 1, 1992
Summary
Infra-red coagulation offers an effective treatment for multiple glomus tumours. This minimally invasive technique successfully treated over 30 lesions in a patient with this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Oncology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Glomus cell tumours are typically solitary and treated with excisional biopsy.
- Multiple glomus cell tumours are rare, presenting a treatment challenge due to lesion number.
Observation:
- A patient presented with multiple glomus cell tumours, exceeding 30 lesions.
- Standard surgical excision is impractical for numerous lesions.
Findings:
- Infra-red coagulation was utilized to treat over 30 glomus tumours.
- The procedure demonstrated rapid and effective results in managing multiple lesions.
Implications:
- Infra-red coagulation presents a viable, less invasive alternative for multiple glomus tumours.
- This method offers a practical solution for patients with extensive glomus tumour burden.
