Multiple glomus tumors associated with multiple neoplasias.
We report the case of a 60-year-old man who presented with a lentigo maligna melanoma, which led to the discovery of a malignant endobronchial tumor and who had noticed the appearance of disseminated multiple glomus tumors about 10 years before. The late onset of this form of benign vascular tumor raises the question whether multiple glomus tumors may have been, in this case, a cutaneous marker of the development of underlying malignancy.
