The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
C J KeeferJ B DeLozier

Abstract

Glomangiomas, a rare variant of glomus tumors, can be mistaken for hemangiomas. Case reports of two family members are given as examples for differential diagnosis and timing of surgical intervention. Conservative excision is proposed when vital structures are involved. The use of the candela tunable pulse dye laser for the treatment of the superficial dermal component of the tumor is presented.
