<\/span><\/h2>\nA glomus tumor is a nodule<\/span> arising from glomus cells in the arterial<\/span> portion of the body glomus, or the Sucquet-Hoyer canal. The tumor is usually found in the nail bed or palm of a young adult and can be extremely painful, particularly after a change in temperature or pressure.<\/p>\nExtracutaneous<\/span> Glomus tumors have rarely been reported in the gastrointestinal tract, mediastinum, trachea, mesentery, cervix, and vagina.<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Glomus tumor<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>What is the body glomus?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe glomus body is a temperature-sensitive organ of perivascular<\/span> smooth muscle cells, which are involved in the vascular<\/span> regulation of skin temperature; arterioles<\/span> they contract in the cold, while the glomus bodies dilate, thus maintaining blood flow to the nail bed.<\/p>\n\n

<\/span>How is a glomus tumor diagnosed?<\/span><\/h2>\nGlomus tumor can be suspected clinically as it is generally a solitary, painful, 1 to 2 cm reddish-blue color papule<\/span> or nodule in or around a nail bed. Usually suffer biopsy<\/span>. the histology<\/span> of a glomus tumor reveals solid<\/span> glomus cell sheets around small blood vessels<\/span>. Immunohistochemical studies can be helpful in diagnosis.<\/p>\n<\/span>What is the treatment for glomus tumors?<\/span><\/h2>\nGlomus solitaire tumors can be removed surgically.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
