Laser Therapy for an Acquired Glomuvenous Malformation (Glomus Tumour): A Nonsurgical Approach.
Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery 2016 January
BACKGROUND: Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs) (previously known as glomus tumours) are uncommon, benign, vascular neoplasms. Current treatments include surgical excision and sclerotherapy, often with high recurrence rates and poor cosmetic results.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to use a nonsurgical approach for treatment of a GVM.
METHODS: We present a patient with an acquired, biopsy-proven GVM of the heel unamenable to surgical excision, treated with a long pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser.
RESULTS: Excellent cosmesis and long-term remission were achieved after several treatment sessions.
CONCLUSION: Our experience provides further evidence to support the safety and effectiveness of the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser in the management of large and surgically challenging GVMs.
