Abstract:
We report an unusual case of multiple glomangioma showing the histopathologic findings of focal leiomyomatous component. A 23-year-old man complained of multiple, bluish, soft nodules, 0.5 to 2cm in diameter, which were distr ibuted on the back and both upper limbs. Histologic examination revealed some foci composed of spindle-shaped smooth muscle cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and blunt ended nuclei as well as cells with features intermediate between glomus cells and fully differentiated myocytes. It was confirmed by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies.
