Abstract
- Clinical types of glomus tumors can be divided into the more common solitary type and the rare multiple types. The latters are subdivided into disseminated, regional, and congenital plaquelike type. We report a 25 year old man with a red to blue colored soft nodular plaques on the back. The lesions were soft reddish patches since birth and gradually enlarged. These were gradually changed to blue colored soft nodular plaques with mild tenderness. The histologic findings were compatible with the glomus tumor.
