Congenital nodular multiple glomangioma: a case report.
A 13 year old girl presented with recurrent painful "varicosities" on her right calf. These lesions were subsequently clinically diagnosed as "cavernous haemangiomas" after normal duplex scanning and were excised. Histological examination revealed multiple glomangiomas (glomus tumours). A literature review revealed only two reported cases of nodular multiple glomangioma, so that this is the third case to be reported in the literature.
