Abstract
- We report a case of multiple glomus tumors showing histopathologic feature of glomangiomyoma with a review of the literature. The patient presented with multiple, tender, subcutaneous nodules on the back, thigh, and arm. Skin biopsy from the back revealed glomangioma. Three years later, new lesions appeared on the waist and soles and pain was noted on the thigh and back lesions. Additional skin biopsy at the same site was performed to reveal glomangiomyoma.
