Multiple glomus tumours. Special reference to radiological findings.

I A Niechajev

    Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multiple glomus tumors are a rare genetic condition presenting as small, bluish skin lesions with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This study reports on four cases, detailing their clinical and hereditary aspects.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Tumors
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Glomus tumors are typically solitary, painful lesions found under nails.
    • Multiple glomus tumors are rare, characterized by multiple small, bluish, intradermal lesions.
    • These tumors exhibit an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.

    Observation:

    • The study reports four cases of multiple glomus tumors: one sporadic and three hereditary.
    • Pedigrees spanning five generations in two families are presented.
    • Radiological investigations including angiography, venography, and thermography showed inconsistent diagnostic value.

    Findings:

    • Multiple glomus tumors are clinically and histologically similar to cavernous hemangiomas.
    • Characteristic glomus cells within the tumor lumen differentiate them from hemangiomas.
    • Skeletal changes associated with multiple glomus tumors are discussed.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the genetic basis and presentation of multiple glomus tumors is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Further research is needed to establish reliable diagnostic imaging for this rare condition.
    • Differentiating multiple glomus tumors from other vascular lesions is important for appropriate management.
