Abstract
- Glomangioma is a kind of glomus tumor showing components of glomus cells and blood vessels. A 12-year-old female visited our department due to a tender 8 X 7 cm sized plaque formed by multiple conglobated nodules that had been growing on the left thigh since her birth. Histopathological findings showed dilated, thin walled vascular spaces surrounded by several layers of glomus cells, compatible with glomangioma. Glomangioma has been treated with surgical excision, laser, and sclerotherapy. We treated her by sclerotherapy in considering size and depth of the lesion. After second sclerotherapy with 1% sodium tetradecyl sulfate, the tender lesion almost disappeared. Sclerotherapy was effective to treat large glomangioma with good cosmetic outcome.
