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-ma le transmission. The remaining patients had no family history of similar le sions. The clinical and histopathological aspects of our patients support t he recently described type 2 segmental manifestation of multiple glomus tum ors. One of the cases showed associated multiple and giant trichilemmal cys ts with a linear distribution in the scalp. Copyright (C) 2000 S. Karger AG , Basel.
