RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/C536827
Entry Term(s): Glomangiomas, Multiple; Glomus Tumors, Multiple; Glomuvenous malformations; VMGLOM; Venous Malformations With Glomus Cells
Registry Numbers: 0
Heading Mapped to: *Glomus Tumor; *Paraganglioma, Extra-Adrenal
Frequency: 67
Note: A hereditary autosomal dominant condition characterized by glomus tumors that are similar to mucocutaneous venous malformations (OMIM: 600195), but have a cobble-stone appearance, harder consistency, and are painful on palpation. Histologically, they are distinguishable by the presence of pathognomonic rounded cells (glomus cells) around the distended vein-like channels. Glomus cells in glomuvenous malformations stain positively for smooth muscle cell alpha-actin (ACTA2) and VIMENTIN. Mutations in the GLML gene have been identified. OMIM: 138000
