title: Glomangiomatosis concentrated in the ankle with varied appearances: a case report.
abstract: Glomangiomatosis is an exceedingly rare condition. This report details a case of multiple glomangiomas concentrated in the ankle of a 59-year-old male. Despite identical histological findings, the lesions displayed varied clinical features at physical examination, at magnetic resonance imaging, and upon further examination after excision. Unlike solitary glomus tumors, glomangiomas can vary widely in clinical appearance.
