Glomusangioma

Glomusangiomas are benign tumors of blood vessels that can occur in various human tissues and organs. These tumors are characterized by the formation of large, sometimes multicentric, nodes containing small, branched, star-shaped vessels. Glomusanginomas can be single or multiple, they have a tendency to degenerate into malignant formations. In this article we will look at general information about glomusangiomas, the causes of their occurrence, symptoms, methods of diagnosis and treatment.

Glomusangiomas are a type of hemangiomas consisting of a network of small newly formed vessels that grow and fill with blood without a clear capillary structure. They are grouped into large masses or nodes. With nodular forms, an external defect is usually observed, while the diffuse form manifests itself in an asymptomatic course.
