Glomangiomyoma on the Face
نویسندگان
چکیده
derived from modified smooth muscle cells known as glomus cells. These tumors are commonly found beneath the fingernails, but also occur in many other locations and rarely in visceral organs. They may be present at birth or may also appear multiple. Glomangiomyoma is the least frequent histopathologic type of the glomus tumor, and the case on the face appears never to have been reported in the Korean literature. Therefore, we present a case of a 25-year-old male with glomangiomyoma on the right cheek.
