Multiple glomus tumors of the skin

Congenital Plaquelike Glomus Tumor in a Child

“…Some familial cases have been reported, suggesting an autosomal dominant form of inheritance with variable expressivity (17,24–26). Our patient's grandmother had a vascular lesion on the leg which proved to be a hemangioma.…”

Three Cases of Type 2 Segmental Manifestation of Multiple Glomus Tumors: Association with Linear Multiple Trichilemmal Cysts in a Patient

“…Although multiple glomus tumors are not very frequent, we have seen 3 cases with a type 2 segmental involvement during the last 5 years. It is possible that other cases published as multiple glomus tumors or glomangiomas/glomangiomatosis could likewise be included in this type 2 segmental involvement [6, 7]. So, from our point of view, this clinical presentation of multiple glomus tumors could be more frequent than expected.…”

Glomangioma of Uncertain Malignant Potential: A Case Report

“…Glomus tumors arise as sporadic tumors, and while glomangiomas may also be sporadic, autosomal-dominant inheritance patterns with incomplete penetrance, and variable expressions have been described [14][15][16][17][18]. Familial glomangiomas have been mapped to chromosome 1p21-p22 and are thought to be a result of loss of function mutations in the cytoplasmic protein glomulin [19,20].…”
