Congenital plaque-like glomangioma associated with superficial hypertrichosis

Acquired telangiectatic plaque‐like glomangioma on the forehead

“… 6 in 1990. It has also been reported as a congenital hairless plaque‐like GVM of the scalp 7 and as a plaque‐like GVM associated with hypertrichosis on the belly of a 1‐year‐old child 2 . In the present case, a solitary telangiectatic plaque‐like GVM appeared at the age of 18 years.…”

“…It has also been reported as a congenital hairless plaque-like GVM of the scalp 7 and as a plaque-like GVM associated with hypertrichosis on the belly of a 1-year-old child. 2 In the present case, a solitary telangiectatic plaque-like GVM appeared at the age of 18 years. Only one case of acquired plaque-like GVM was found in the literature, reported by Requena et al 3 The lesion consisted of a painful solitary telangiectatic plaque on the shoulder of a 33-year-old woman and had been there for three years.…”

“…Glomovenous malformations (GVM), previously known as glomangioma or multiple glomus tumor, is a vascular malformation of venous type. It should not be confused with solitary glomus tumor, a painful 3–6‐mm papule commonly located in the nail bed with different histopathological features 2 . GVM are very rare; they are usually congenital multiple bluish nodules situated deep in the dermis.…”

Spitz Nevus Arising upon a Congenital Glomuvenous Malformation

“…Congenital plaque‐like glomuvenous malformation (GVM), also known as glomangioma, can be seen with superficial hypertrichosis (1). Rodriguez‐Martin et al (1) speculate that the abundant and localized vascular hyperemia in GVM may be a source of added nutrition for the stimulation of hair follicles, resulting in the increased hair growth.…”

Rodriguez‐Martin et al (1) speculate that the abundant and localized vascular hyperemia in GVM may be a source of added nutrition for the stimulation of hair follicles, resulting in the increased hair growth. To our knowledge, no previous cases of melanocytic nevi in association with GVM have been reported, although it is possible that this vascular hyperemia may also precipitate the development of nevi in an area of GVM, as in our case.…”
