High-Yield Explanation
Glomus Tumour (Glomangioma)Glomus tumour is an uncommon true benign tumour arising from contractile glomus cells that are present in the aeriovenous shunts (Sucquet-Hoyer anastomosis). These tumours are found most often in the dermis of the fingers or toes under a nail; other sites are mucosa of the stomach and nasal cavity. These lesions are characterised by extreme pain.They may be single or multiple, small, often less than 1 cmin diameter, flat or slightly elevated, red-blue, painfulnodules.Histologically, the tumours are composed of small blood vessels lined by endothelium and surrounded by aggregates, nests and masses of glomus cells. The glomus cells are round to cuboidal cells with scanty cytoplasm. The intervening connective tissue stroma contains some non-myelinated nerve fibres.
