History Of

Glomus tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms derived from glomus bodies with rare presentations in the oral cavity. Glomus tumors present as a purple or pink vascular nodule or papule, sized <1 cm, and imitate vascular neoplasms such as hemangiopericytoma or hemangioma. Glomus tumors represent less than 2% of all benign soft tissue tumors. Only 27 cases of benign glomus tumors with oral cavity involvement have been reported to date. The most-reported oral tumors involved the lips (54.2%), followed by hard palate, gingiva, tongue, and buccal mucosa. The mean age of presentation of the labial glomus tumors is 48.7 years, with no gender predilection, in contrast to the subungual site, which occurs more in females. The etiology of the glomus tumors remains unknown. Subungual glomus tumors present as stabbing pain, cold intolerance, and tenderness of the fingertips, whereas labial glomus tumors mostly present as a painless, small, and slow-growing lesion. Treatment is surgical resection of the tumor. The recurrence rate of labial glomus tumors is unclear. In this article, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with a 2-month history of painless, soft lump on the mucosal surface of the lower left lip. Excisional resection of the tumor was performed in the clinic, and the histopathologic finding was consistent with solid glomus tumor. At 1 year follow-up there was no recurrence.

Etiological Agents

ABSTRACT Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors. They are usually surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule and composed of mature fat cells. Approximately 15 to 20% of cases occur in the head and neck region and only 1 to 4% occur in the oral cavity . The most common anatomic site in the oral cavity has frequently been reported as the buccal mucosa, followed by floor of the mouth, tongue and lower lip mucosa. They present as painless, well circumscribed, soft or firm, slow growing submucosal mass. Heredity, fatty tissue degeneration, hormonal imbalance, trauma, infection and chronic irritation have been proposed as etiological agents for lipomas; their etiology remains unknown.

AbstractGlomus tumors are a mostly benign neoplasm that constitutes less than 4% of upper-limb soft-tissue tumors. Its unspecific clinical presentation, added to its low frequency, leads to a late diagnosis.The objective of the present study is to update the clinical-paraclinical approach and the surgical technique used in the treatment.We carried out a literature review from 2014 to 2019 on digital glomus tumor in the hand in adult patients using the PubMed search engine.In most of the publications analyzed, the diagnosis was clinical, with a delay of 1 to 10 years. Plain radiography is the most requested study; of the 16 articles reporting its indication, only half evidenced compatible changes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was requested in 15 articles, presenting normal results in 3 of them. The treatment of choice was surgical excision using a transungual approach. Only 4 articles report recurrence after excision.Although there is diversity in the approach to these tumors, we conclude that the diagnosis is clinical, and the treatment surgical, and there is no consensus regarding the paraclinical indication. The information available comes mainly from case reports, publications that contribute to the generation of evidence for the clinical practice in rare diseases such as this one.

Introduction. A glomus tumor is a benign vascular tumor derived from glomus cells and occurs mainly in the subcutaneous layer of the subungual or digital pulp. Extradigital glomus tumors have been reported within the palm, wrist, forearm, foot, bone, stomach, colon, cervix, and mesentery. Glomus tumors can originate from the intraosseous, intramuscular, periosteal, intravascular, and intraneural layers. However, a glomus tumor originating from the intravascular layer of the forearm is a rare condition.Case Report. A 44-year-old woman had a 7-year history of chronic pain and focal tenderness of the forearm. No hypersensitivity or sensory alterations were observed. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass measuring 5 × 3 × 2 mm leading to a vein. Surgical excision was performed, and the tumor was completely resected. Finding of gross examination revealed a dark-red, well-defined soft tissue tumor, and histologic examination confirmed that the mass was a glomus tumor. The patient’s symptoms were completely resolved postoperatively.Conclusion. Intravascular glomus tumors rarely occur in the forearm; therefore, a thorough physical exam, comprehensive medical history, in-depth imaging, and early surgical excision upon clinical suspicion may be helpful to prevent a delayed or incorrect diagnosis.

Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that arise from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. They represent around 1–5% of all soft-tissue tumors. High temperature, sensitivity, and pain and localized tenderness are the classical triad of symptoms. Most glomus tumors represent in the subungual area of digits. Extradigital glomus tumors are a very rare entity. There are rare cases of these tumors reported to be in shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, even stomach, colon, and larynx. We are reporting a case of a glomus tumor on thigh and discuss the histological and immunohistochemical features.

History Of

Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplastic lesions arising from glomus bodies that are involved in skin thermoregulation. They are mostly benign tumors, and malignant variants have been rarely reported. The subungual zones of fingers and toes are the most frequent sites of observation. Glomus tumors arising in visceral organs of the gastrointestinal tract are exceedingly rare. Stomach antrum and intestinal duodenum are the most frequent organs involved. No single case of glomus tumor involving intestinal ileum has been previously reported in the English medical literature. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of malignant glomus tumor (glomangiosarcoma) of intestinal ileum in a 29-year-old female patient who presented with a 1-month history of a tender pelvi-abdominal mass, constipation, vomiting, and melena. The intestinal ileum glomus tumor was resected, and histopathological diagnosis was consistent with glomangiosarcoma. A postoperative 6-month followup failed to show any evidence of tumor recurrence.

The term fibromatosis refers to a group of benign soft tissue tumors (fibromas), which have certain characteristics in common, including absence of cytologic and clinical malignant features, a histology consistent with proliferation of well-differentiated fibroblasts, an infiltrative growth pattern, and aggressive clinical behavior with frequent local recurrence. Lymphangiomas are malformations of the lymphatic system, which is the network of vessels responsible for returning to the venous system of excess fluid from tissues. Here we report a case of 30 years old lady with history of multiple soft tissue tumours in thigh, axilla and abdomen. On physical examination the swelling of the thigh and abdomen were firm and those of axilla were soft. All the tumours were excised surgically and diagnosis of thigh swelling was fibromatosis and that of axilla was lymphangioma, on histopathology.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v1i1.6490Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery (2010) Vol. 1 (1) pp.29-32

Glomus bodies are neuromyoarterial apparatuses of the skin, implicated in body temperature control, and may undergo transformation with unregulated hyperplasia of their smooth muscle component. Glomus tumors most commonly occur in the subungual region of the fingers. These benign tumors are rare and constitute 1-5% of soft tissue tumors of the hand and may present as solitary or multiple masses. Solitary glomus tumors present with a classic triad of localized tenderness, severe pain, and cold sensitivity. We report a rare case of glomus tumor in the elbow and a review of the histopathological findings.

Abstract Glomus tumor is a benign mesenchymal neoplasm comprising less than 2% of soft tissue tumors. It is composed of cells resembling modified smooth muscle cells of the normal glomus body. The glomus body, a thermoregulator, is a specialized form of arteriovenous anastomosis localized in dermal and precoccygeal soft tissue. Although glomus tumors are rare neoplasms, clinical misdiagnosis of many of these lesions as hemangiomas or venous malformations makes an accurate assessment of their actual prevalence difficult. A malignant counterpart of this lesion exists but is extremely rare.

Background Tracheal glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that have the potential to cause malignant, central airway obstruction. They require a thoughtful approach to safely secure the airway and definitively resect the tumor. Case Description We report the clinical course of a 25-year-old man in severe respiratory distress secondary to tracheal glomus tumor and the subsequent surgical management. Conclusion Due to their hypervascular nature, greater familiarity with tracheal glomus tumors is needed to ensure appropriate preoperative planning and intervention.
