1/41. An unusual case of multiple recurrence of a glomangioma.Glomus tumour is a benign lesion arising from the glomus apparatus of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Glomangioma is the angiomatous variant, which is uncommon. We report a very rare presentation of a glomangioma with multiple recurrences. We advocate preoperative angiography to delineate the extent of the lesion to facilitate complete excision.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = glomangioma, glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/41. Glomangiopericytoma causing oncogenic osteomalacia. A case report with immunohistochemical analysis.A 47-year-old woman suffered from gait disturbance due to back pain and muscle weakness. Laboratory data showed serum hypophosphatemia, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and a normal level of ionized calcium. Radiological examinations revealed multiple pathologic fractures in the ribs and pubic rami. She had had no episode of familial or any other notable disorder, and so she was initially treated with medication for adult-onset osteomalacia. However, 19 years later (when she was 66 years old), she noticed a soft-tissue tumor in her buttock. The tumor was excised. The histological features were those of glomangiopericytoma characterized by both glomus tumor-like and hemangiopericytoma-like structures. After removal of the tumor, her symptoms disappeared immediately. Laboratory data normalized 8 months later. To our knowledge, this is the first report of oncogenic osteomalacia caused by glomangiopericytoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.016685074520068keywords = glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/41. Glomus tumors with cystic changes around the ankle.Sizable glomus tumors with cystic changes in the ankle are extremely uncommon. This paper describes painless glomus tumors with cystic changes arising in the ankle of a 22-year-old woman. At the age of 14, a painless mass was noticed on the lateral side of the left ankle, and at age 21, another mass appeared on the medial side of the same ankle. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning revealed 4.5 x 4.0 cm and 2.0 x 2.0 cm sized masses on the medial side and a 3.0 x 4.0 cm sized cystic mass on the lateral side of the ankle. The tumors were removed en bloc. Microscopically, the tumor consisted of perivascularly arranged cells with punched-out, round, and regular nuclei. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells expressed SMA and HHF-35, indicating smooth muscle cell characters. The patient had no recurrence at 2 years after surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033370149040136keywords = glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/41. Uncommon hand tumours.This paper presented clinical examples of some rare or uncommon presentations of tumours of the hand, including glomus tumour, intraosseous dermoid, fibrolipoma of the radial nerve, blastomycotic cyst and synovial sarcoma. Each lesion is illustrated by review of case histories, radiological and pathological features.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.18147078550858keywords = glomus tumour, glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/41. Primary intraosseous glomus tumor: a case report.We reported a rare case of a primary intraosseous glomus tumor in a 53-year-old woman who had a small lytic lesion in the distal phalanx of her left index finger. The radiologic appearance showed a well circumscribed osteolytic lesion without sclerotic rim. Histologic examination revealed solid nests or sheets of polygonal cells surrounding branching vasculatures consistent with a glomus tumor. curettage resulted in complete removal of the tumor as well as pain alleviation. The patient was well without evidence of recurrent disease following an 18 month follow-up. Despite its rarity, intraosseous glomus tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions in which plain radiography showed a well circumscribed punch-out lesion without sclerotic rim especially those arising in the finger.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.11679552164048keywords = glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/41. magnetic resonance imaging of a tiny glomus tumour of the fingertip: a case report.magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for a patient with severe pain in the fourth finger of her left hand when other imaging modalities had failed. Magnetic resonance scan with short T1 inversion recovery (STIR) sequences and gadolonium enhancement successfully aided in the diagnosis of a tiny glomus tumour.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.90735392754288keywords = glomus tumour, glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/41. Popliteal glomangioma mimicking Baker's cyst in a 9-year-old child: an unusual location of a glomus tumor.Popliteal cysts (Baker's cyst) are very common conditions in children. However, in the differential diagnosis of popliteal cysts in childhood, glomus tumor is the most infrequent diagnosis. This is a relatively uncommon soft tissue tumor that can occur at any age and any anatomic site, with a predilection for the subungual region. In the reported series, extradigital glomangiomas involving the knee are located in the patellar ligament, quadriceps tendon, patellar fat pad, and popliteal fossa. In this study, I present a second case of glomus tumor located in the popliteal fossa and misdiagnosed as a Baker's cyst. I also review the "around-the-knee glomus tumors" that have been discussed in the literature to date.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1001104471204keywords = glomangioma, glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/41. Bilateral solitary glomus tumors of the hands.Solitary glomus tumors of the digits are uncommon, comprising only about 2% of all hand tumors. In this report, we present a case report of a patient with bilateral glomus tumors that became symptomatic 4 years apart. No inheritance pattern was apparent for this patient. An extensive literature review did not uncover a similar patient. Because this condition does not appear to be widely recognized, we suggest that it be considered when patients present with bilateral digital pain.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.10011044712041keywords = glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/41. glomus tumor imaging: use of MRI for localization of occult lesions.magnetic resonance imaging has been performed in six patients with glomus tumors of the hand and correlated with clinical surgical histopathologic findings and with angiography in one case. Two of the patients had obscure pain without the classic clinical and radiologic findings of glomus tumors. The MRI examinations depicted the tumors in excellent detail and facilitated diagnosis in the two patients with atypical presentation. In all six cases the diagnoses were confirmed at surgery. The MRI proved valuable as a noninvasive and accurate means for the early diagnosis of occult glomus tumors.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.050055223560205keywords = glomus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/41. Glomangioma arising from the superficial palmar arch in the hand: case report.A patient presented with a glomangioma that presented as an aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch. Throbbing pain, tenderness over the tumor, and cold intolerance were clinical features. Cold intolerance was the major problem. The pathologic diagnosis was glomangioma. Excision of the tumor provided a good result and there has been no recurrence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.39332597019197keywords = glomangioma (Clic here for more details about this article) |
