Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Hereditary multiple glomangiomas are an interesting rare problem which can either present as multiple painful cutaneous lesions or, rarely, a cosmetic challenge due to site, size or number of lesions. It may also pose a diagnostic dilemma, which can only be settled by biopsy. Malignant change in glomangioma is extremely rare and only a few cases are well documented in literature. A case report of this condition, along with extensive review of the literature, is presented. The prognosis of various forms of glomangiomas and efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic tools is discussed.
