Glomangioma

Dermatol Online J. 2010 Nov 15;16(11):11.

Abstract

A 22-year-old man presented with a 9-year history of multiple blue nodules on the medial aspect of his right arm. A biopsy specimen showed a cystic space with a cuboidal cellular lining that stained positive for α-smooth-muscle actin; these findings were consistent with multiple glomangiomas. We review the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of this rare entity.
