  • Title: Glomuvenous Malformation: A Rare Periorbital Lesion of the Thermoregulatory Apparatus.
    Author: Whipple KM, Godfrey KJ, Solomon JP, Lin JH, Korn BS, Kikkawa DO.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2017; 33(2):e36-e37. PubMed ID: 27065433.
    Abstract:
    Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs), previously referred to as glomus tumors or glomangiomas, are benign, mesenchymal venous malformations arising from glomus bodies. Glomus bodies are modified smooth muscle neuromyoarterial structures involved in temperature regulation via blood shunting. These classically occur in the digits but can occur in other locations. The authors present a case of a periorbital GVM presented following blunt trauma to the area.
