Glomus tumors are rare hamartomas that originate from the glomus body. These
tumors can be divided into solitary and multiple, the latter also known as
glomangioma. We report the case of two patients with a rare variety of
glomangioma called congenital plaque-like glomangioma. It presents as numerous
red to bluish compressible papules, that increase in size in proportion with the
weight and height growth of the child. Diagnostic confirmation is with
histopathology and the treatment is surgical.
