  • Title: Color Doppler Ultrasound Study of Glomuvenous Malformations with its Clinical and Histologic Correlations.
    Author: Wortsman X, Millard F, Aranibar L.
    Journal: Actas Dermosifiliogr (Engl Ed); 2018 Apr; 109(3):e17-e21. PubMed ID: 28683898.
    Abstract:
    Glomuvenous malformations are hamartomatous lesions characterized by the presence of glomus cells in the vascular smooth muscle. We present the clinical and color Doppler ultrasound features of a series of 13 cases of histologically confirmed glomuvenous malformations. In all cases, the ultrasound study revealed moderately delimited superficial dermal and hypodermal pseudonodular structures of mixed echogenicity, with hypoechoic and heterogeneous areas and anechoic, pseudocystic tubular and lacunar zones. Arterial and venous vessels, mainly with a low flow (≤ 15cm/s) were observed in 85% of patients, but no arteriovenous shunts were present. Deeper structures were not affected and no phleboliths were detected. The clinical and ultrasound findings could facilitate diagnosis, surgical planning, and noninvasive follow-up in these tumors.
