Scope note: Neoplasia vascular, muy dolorosa, de color rojo azulado formado por anastomosis arteriovenosas glomeruloides (glomo), que puede aparecer en cualquier zona de la piel, habitualmente en la porción distal de los dedos de las manos y de los pies, sobre todo bajo las uñas. El tumor está compuesto por pericitos especializados (a veces denominados células glómicas), y suele ser una masa nodular encapsulada única que pueden tener varios milímetros de diámetro. El QUEMODECTOMA, un tumor originario de la CRESTA NEURAL, también recibe a veces la denominación de tumor glómico.

Scope note: A blue-red, extremely painful vascular neoplasm involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. It is composed of specialized pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter (From Stedman, 27th ed). CHEMODECTOMA, a tumor of NEURAL CREST origin, is also sometimes called a glomus tumor.
