Glomangioma (Glomus tumor)

Call me unprofessional but I'm not going to post a picture of this tumor on my blog. It is by far the most disturbing tumor I've ever seen in my entire life.


Glomangioma
:...The most common adverse effect is pain, which is usually associated with solitary lesions. Multiple tumors are less likely to be painful. In one report, a patient with more than 400 glomus tumors had thrombocytopenia as a result of platelet sequestration (ie, Kasabach-Merritt syndrome). Malignant glomus tumors, or glomangiosarcomas, are extremely rare and usually represent a locally infiltrative malignancy. However, metastases do occur and are usually fatal. - wikipedia
