“…Sclerotherapy has been less effective in glomangiomas, perhaps explained by the histology of several layers of glomus cells lining the vessels. Laser therapy has been successful in some cases 5 . Owing to the cosmetically sensitive location and lack of symptoms in our patient, he and his family have opted for observation.…”

An 8-year-old black boy presented with a dark bluepurple plaque on the face. It had first been noted by his parents at the time of his adoption 4 years previously, but had continued to grow proportionately with him. The plaque was otherwise asymptomatic. He was human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive, but had not progressed to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Physical examination revealed a poorlydemarcated, darkly erythematous to violaceous, nodular and lobulated plaque on the left cheek, extending onto the upper cutaneous lip and inferior eyelid (Fig. 1). Figure 1 Dark purple-red, multilobulated, smooth plaque over the left cheek and upper cutaneous lip.

“…Treatments include argon, carbon dioxide and pulsed dye lasers, and sclerotherapy with hypertonic saline or sodium tetradecyl sulfate. Surgical excision may be difficult because of the large number of lesions 6 . This patient was successfully treated with three sessions of Nd‐YAG laser (1064‐nm wavelength) with a 6 mm spot size at 110–120 J/cm 2 .…”

A 15-year-old boy presented with multiple, widespread blue skin lumps. The lesions were first noted when he was 6 years of age, and had gradually increased in size. The lesions were characteristically tender on deep palpation, and there was no history of bleeding. The patient's 21-year-old brother had a similar lesion on his chest.On examination, partially compressible dermal and subcutaneous bluish nodules, 5-15 mm in diameter, were seen on the dorsum of the left hand, on the left palm and extensor surface of the right forearm, and overlying the right scapula (Fig. 1). A nodular lesion on the right forearm was excised for histology.

“…Surgical excision remains the most effective definitive treatment for solitary tumours. In multiple lesions, other treatments, such as sclerotherapy and laser therapy with the carbon dioxide or argon laser are useful options 6 …”

A 37-year-old man presented with a 7-year history of severe paroxysmal pain in the left index finger. The symptoms were worse in winter and were triggered by trauma and contact with cold water. He was otherwise healthy.On examination, he had a tender lesion, 6 · 4 mm in size, on the lateral aspect of the distal phalanx of the left index finger. The overlying skin seemed normal (Fig. 1a). A radiograph of the affected finger showed a soft-tissue lesion eroding the adjacent bone (Fig. 1b). A globular, encapsulated, greyish white lesion was completely excised under local anaesthesia (Fig. 1c), and the symptoms subsided after surgery.
