Three cases of type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors: association with linear multiple trichilemmal cysts in a patient.
We report 3 cases of congenital multiple glomus tumors seen during the last 5 years. One of them showed autosomal dominant inheritance with male-to-male transmission. The remaining patients had no family history of similar lesions. The clinical and histopathological aspects of our patients support the recently described type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tumors. One of the cases showed associated multiple and giant trichilemmal cysts with a linear distribution in the scalp.
