- Abstract
Congenital multiple glomus tumors are extremely rare, and less than 20 cases have been well documented. We report an uncommon case of congenital multiple glomangiomas with a segmental manifestation in a 9-year-old girl. Since birth, the child had presented asymptomatic angiomatous macules arranged in a segmental pattern on the neck and trunk. During a follow-up period of 9 years, disseminated smaller papulonodular lesions developed on both arms and the left leg with a segmental distribution. Histopathology of congenital and acquired lesions confirmed the diagnosis of glomangiomas. The family history was negative for glomus tumors. This type of presentation supports the recently described type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors, with a segmental involvement of congenital early developing lesions.Copyright © 2003 S.
