“…Although glomus tumours are usually well encapsulated and easily enucleated, additional aids, such as the microscope (Huang et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2009; Muramatsu et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2013) or surgical loupes (Hufschmidt et al., 2017; Kim et al., 2018), optimize complete resection and help to distinguish pulp lesions from fat tissue.…”

This retrospective, single-centre study was carried out on patients with digital subungual glomus tumours. We describe a subperiosteal approach with a ‘shark mouth’ flap containing the nail plate and nail bed as a single unit, providing ideal exposure and easy access to the tumour. It combines the advantages of the transungual and lateral approaches, whether the subungual tumours are located centrally, peripherally or under the germinal matrix. The ‘shark mouth’ flap approach was used by the same surgeon in 24 patients with solitary glomus tumours of the fingers. Clinical outcomes at the early postoperative phase and at the last follow-up were satisfactory. Pain relief and wound healing were quickly achieved. No complications, such as fingertip numbness or nail deformities, were observed, and there was only one recurrence. This approach is reliable, nail-sparing and less time-consuming than other techniques. Level of evidence: IV

“…They are often asymptomatic, but some lesions may be tender upon compression. Unlike, glomus tumors which are usually solitary benign vascular lesions predilected for a subungual area with predominance on the ring finger, present in adulthood and almost always painful and sensitive to changes in temperature [6].…”

Glomuvenous malformations are congenital, benign, vascular malformations classified as subtypes of glomus tumors with predominant blood vessels, usually present at birth or childhood with multiple, bluish, soft papules and nodules or plaque-like cutaneous lesions. Later present with pronounced segmental lesions, superimposed on the primary lesions, suggesting type 2 segmental mosaicism. We present a rare case of familial glomuvenous malformations, a healthy young female presented with multiple bluish papules since birth which later developed dissemination later in her adolescence. Moreover, her father also had similar skin lesions on his left lower back.
