Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that originate from the glomus bodies, an arteriovenous anastomosis with a specialized vascular structure. The most common site for these tumors is the subungal region of the fingers. Occasionally, glomus tumors are found in the middle ear, trachea, nasal cavities, stomach, and lungs. The occurrence in the parotid regions is very rare. While multiple glomus tumo...

the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizae on water use efficiency and some growth characteristics of maize were studied at three water regimes. an farm experiment was carried out using a split plot based randomized complete block design with 3 replications. main plot was under water deficit condition (100%fc, 66%fc, 33%fc) and sub plot included application of two species of mycorrhizae, m1:glomus m...

We have reinvestigated the hypothesis of the relative importance of glomus cell plasma and mitochondrial membrane potentials (E(m) and psi(m), respectively) in acute hypoxia by a noninvasive fluorescence microimaging technique using the voltage-sensitive dyes bis-oxonol and JC-1, respectively. Short-term (24 h)-cultured rat glomus cells and cultured PC-12 cells were used for the study. Glomus c...

Glomus tumors arise from the glomus body, a neuro-arterial structure that regulates the body temperature. Most common site is the skin and superficial soft tissues of the distal extremities, especially the subungual region. Up to 10 % of patients may have multiple lesions. Rare anatomic sites include bone, particularly phalanges, stomach, mediastinum and lung. The head and neck region is a rare...

BACKGROUND Glomus tumors typically occur in the subcutaneous tissue of distal extremities, but rarely in visceral organs. Most glomus tumors are benign, while others have been reported to have malignant potential. Herein, a unique case of a liver glomus tumor with atypical histological features is reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 39-year-old man felt fullness in the epigastrium, and an enhanced ...

Glomus tumors are benign tumors that account for 1% to 5% of all soft tissue tumors of the hand and are characterized by a triad of sensitivity to cold, localized tenderness and severe paroxysmal pain. Paroxysmal pain is a symptom common not only in glomus tumors but also in CRPS, and the hand is one of the commonly affected sites in patients with both glomus tumors and CRPS. Therefore, it is n...

Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that arise from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. They represent around 1-5% of all soft-tissue tumors. High temperature, sensitivity, and pain and localized tenderness are the classical triad of symptoms. Most glomus tumors represent in the subungual area of digits. Extradigital glomus tumors are a very rare entity. There are rare cases of these tumors reported...
