“…Multiple glomus tumours represent a small proportion of the totality of glomus tumours [1, 6]. Multiple glomus tumours usually tend to be less painful, affect young individuals and, histologically, the vascular component predominates on the glomus cells [1, 6].…”

“…Multiple glomus tumours usually tend to be less painful, affect young individuals and, histologically, the vascular component predominates on the glomus cells [1, 6]. A positive family history is found in 60% of cases [1], autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity being the most consistent pattern [1]. Congenital multiple tumours have exceptionally been reported [7], most corresponding to the plaque-like form [7, 8, 9], as it occurred in our second case.…”

“…To our knowledge, type 1 segmental arrangement of multiple glomus tumours has not been reported previously. Parsons et al [1]reviewed the literature on multiple glomus tumours and selected 34 cases, of which only 3 showed involvement of only one extremity. These cases might correspond to type 1 segmental arrangement.…”

“…Clinically, they can be classified into solitary and multiple glomus tumours, the latter being very rare and inherited as an autosomal dominant trait [1]. Histologically, these tumours are composed of vascular spaces, glomus cells and smooth muscle fibres.…”

Several autosomal dominant skin diseases may manifest cutaneous mosaicism. Two types of segmental arrangement can be distinguished: type 1 is characterized by segmental lesions with similar severity to that observed in the diffuse phenotype, the remaining skin being normal; type 2 is characterized by segmental lesions showing a major degree of severity and milder lesions diffusely arranged. Multiple glomus tumours have recently been included in the group of genodermatoses showing type 2 segmental involvement. A family with 2 cases of multiple glomangiomas arranged in a segmental fashion is reported. A 12-year-old girl presented multiple nodular glomangiomas on her right buttock and thigh, in a band-like distribution. A sister of her paternal grandfather showed plaque-like multiple glomangiomas on her left thigh and various glomangiomas on her right buttock and arm. No other family members were known to be affected. Two new cases of familial segmental multiple glomangiomas are reported, with the particularity that one of these exhibited type 2 segmental manifestation and the other type 1 from a clinical point of view.

“…These tumors may occur in solitary or multiple forms, the latter being very rare and often inherited as an autosomal dominant trait [1]. Solitary glomus tumors which usually occur in young adults are characteristically present in an acral location, especially in the nail bed, forming a painful purplish nodule.…”

Type 2 Segmental Manifestation of Congenital Multiple Glomangiomas

Congenital multiple glomus tumors are extremely rare, and less than 20 cases have been well documented. We report an uncommon case of congenital multiple glomangiomas with a segmental manifestation in a 9-year-old girl. Since birth, the child had presented asymptomatic angiomatous macules arranged in a segmental pattern on the neck and trunk. During a follow-up period of 9 years, disseminated smaller papulonodular lesions developed on both arms and the left leg with a segmental distribution. Histopathology of congenital and acquired lesions confirmed the diagnosis of glomangiomas. The family history was negative for glomus tumors. This type of presentation supports the recently described type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors, with a segmental involvement of congenital early developing lesions.
