Glomangioma is very rare lesion in extradigital location. They are usually associated with multiple and familial lesion. Glomangioma as with glomus tumour also presents with hypersensitivity to cold, severe pain and pinpoint tenderness to blunt palpation. Glomus tumours have not been observed in individuals who are less than one year of age (glomus bodies form after that age) or in elderly pers...

The growth response of the hyphae of mycorrhizal fungi has been determined, both when plant and fungus together and when only the fungus was exposed to a temperature change. Two host plant species, Plantago lanceolata and Holcus lanatus, were grown separately in pots inoculated with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae at 20/18 degrees C (day/night); half of the pots were then transferred to 1...

Glomus tumors are unusual and generally benign neoplasms mainly found in subungeal areas. We describe a case of concomitant subcutaneous and tracheal glomus tumor that underwent successful endoscopic resection. A 48-year old male with a left forearm subcutaneous mass presented with hemoptysis. A chest CT scan demonstrated a polypoid tracheal lesion. He underwent a bronchoscopic resection. A bio...

A female, caucasian, 22-year-old patient with no comorbidity, complaining of incapacitating crises of subungual pain in her left hallux, strong enough to wake her up in the middle of the night, starting four years ago, with progressive worsening. The symptom was triggered by a physical stimulus such as cold temperature , local pressure, and even wind causing the crises which improved as she imm...

Glomangiomas (glomus tumours) are uncommon, and in most cases are benign perivascular tumours, usually located in the dermis of the extremities, especially in the subungual region of the fingers. They also occur in other organs and in other regions of the body. Histogenetically, they are derived from modified smooth muscle cells of the glomus apparatus, which is associated with temperature regu...

Plants commonly live in a symbiotic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). They invest photosynthetic products to feed their fungal partners, which, in return, provide mineral nutrients foraged in the soil by their intricate hyphal networks. Intriguingly, AMF can link neighboring plants, forming common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs). What are the terms of trade in such CMNs between p...

Glomus tumors are neoplasms of the normal glomus body. This structure is a neuromyoarterial body composed of an afferent arteriole and an efferent venule with multiple interconnections. Contractility of glomus cells occurs after temperature changes are sensed by nerves within the glomus body, hence its importance in local blood flow regulation [1,2]. Glomus tumors are rare corresponding to 1,6%...
