Congenital plaque-like glomangioma: report of two cases

Abstract: Glomus tumors are rare hamartomas that originate from the glomus body. These tumors can be divided into solitary and multiple, the latter also known as glomangioma. We report the case of two patients with a rare variety of glomangioma called congenital plaque-like glomangioma. It presents as numerous red to bluish compressible papules, that increase in size in proportion with the weight and height growth of the child. Diagnostic confirmation is with histopathology and the treatment is surgical.

“…Vascular malformations do not have the perivascular glomus cell accumulations seen in glomangioma, Myopericytoma, angioleiomyoma, and myofibroma. All have variable degrees of perivascular muscle cells, but these cells do not have the classic cuboidal glomus cells aspect [ 28 , 29 ]. These tumors usually show a degree of desmin positivity in the perivascular cells, which is not seen in glomangioma.…”
