“…Multiple Glomangiome können disseminiert über das Integument verteilt auftreten oder regional, d.h. auf bestimmte Körperregionen beschränkt sein [6,7,11,19]. Für die multiplen disseminierten Glomangiome ist ein autosomal-dominanter Erbgang bekannt [3,4,6,11,18].…”

Glomus tumors (glomangiomata) are benign tumors arising from glomus cells. Multiple glomangiomata are less frequent and less painful than the solitary variant, which is usually located subungually. Nonetheless multiple glomangiomata--sometimes being sensitive to pressure and changes in temperature--may cause considerable discomfort. Treatment of multiple glomangiomata is problematic because of the often large number of tumors. Sclerotherapy represents an alternative to surgical and cryosurgical therapy. We report on sclerotherapy in a 35 year old female patient with multiple hereditary glomus tumors.

“…In both, the lesions are located predominantly within the limbs but may appear on all parts of the body. The numbers vary from a few, usually between five and 20 in the localized type and, exceptionally, up to several hundreds [29, 30] in the disseminated type of the disease. The lesions in the disseminated form are often painless or only a few of them may cause pain [7, 16–18, 31].…”

“…In the disseminated form the lesions are often to be found within the skin [30], but in the localized form the skin is seldom affected by the tumours [12,20]. Multiple resonance imaging (MRI) may prove useful for further investigation.…”
