Background: Glomus tumour is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm affecting the subcutaneous tissue of the distal extremities in the majority of cases. Glomus tumour rarely involves visceral organs. Glomus tumour involving the kidney is extremely rare and would not be encountered by most medical practitioners. In view of the rarity of glomus tumour of the kidney, its biological behaviour may not be know...

Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskular (FMA) mampu meningkatkan pertumbuhan tanaman dengan cara membantu penyerapan air dan unsur hara dari dalam tanah. Selain itu, FMA juga berperan ketahanan terhadap serangan patogen. Laboratorium Produksi Tanaman Perkebunan Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Lampung memiliki 35 koleksi isolat mikoriza. Isolat-isolat tersebut belum teridentifikasi baik sampai ke level spesies...

Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that arise from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. They represent around 1-5% of all soft-tissue tumors. High temperature, sensitivity, and pain and localized tenderness are the classical triad of symptoms. Most glomus tumors represent in the subungual area of digits. Extradigital glomus tumors are a very rare entity. There are rare cases of these tumors reported...

Glomus tumors are benign tumors that account for 1% to 5% of all soft tissue tumors of the hand and are characterized by a triad of sensitivity to cold, localized tenderness and severe paroxysmal pain. Paroxysmal pain is a symptom common not only in glomus tumors but also in CRPS, and the hand is one of the commonly affected sites in patients with both glomus tumors and CRPS. Therefore, it is n...

Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal neoplastic lesions arising from glomus bodies that are involved in skin thermoregulation. They are mostly benign tumors, and malignant variants have been rarely reported. The subungual zones of fingers and toes are the most frequent sites of observation. Glomus tumors arising in visceral organs of the gastrointestinal tract are exceedingly rare. Stomach antrum...

Glomus tumour are painful swelling arising from glomus bodies. They are very rare in occurrence. Most of the time the presenting symptoms is severely painful fingertip without palpable swelling. Their most common location is the subungual region of digits. We report the rare case of a glomus tumour located in an uncommon location, i.e., at the tip of right thumb medial aspect near to tendon att...

Fig 1. A glomus tumor of the hypothenar eminence. Photo from clinical examination shows a hyperkeratotic papule. Note the resemblance of a foreign body. INTRODUCTION Glomus tumors are rare, benign vascular neoplasms typically localized to the digits, with a propensity for the subungual region of the hand. These subcutaneous hamartomas are derived from hyperplasic modified smooth muscle cells, s...

Glomus tumors were described by Rosenwasser in 1945 (1). Glomus body tumors, often abbreviated as glomus tumors, are also known as paragangliomas or chemodectomas. They are a family of benign hypervascular neoplasms arising from the chief cells of the paraganglionic tissues. Furthermore, glomus tumors have vascular structure, comprising cell bundles stained with non chromaffin among thin-walled...

BACKGROUND Glomus tumors are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from glomus bodies in the skin. Glomus tumors of the kidney are rare tumors and only a few cases have been reported in the medical literature. An extensive search revealed a very limited number of primary renal glomus tumors. Although most of these cases were benign in nature, including a case with uncertain diagnosis of malignant...

Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that typically occur within the dermis or subcutis of the subungual space. Primary glomus tumors of the thorax are exceedingly uncommon, thus standard-of-care management is lacking. In this report we describe the management of a patient presenting with a symptomatic glomus tumor of the posterior trachea, and provide a comprehensive review including all documente...
