Abstract
|
|
|
|
Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that are usually found in the subungual area, and are painful upon palpation. The typical treatment of choice is surgical excision. In rare cases, glomus tumors are observed as large-sized clusters, and are classified as atypical tumors known as glomangiomatosis. While surgical excision is the accepted standard of care, this proves difficult because of the tumors’ large size and satellite lesions. We present the successful treatment of asymptomatic glomangiomatosis is situated on the left flank area by a combination of surgical excision and pulsed dye laser, which minimized the risk of scar formation.
