Abstract
ABSTRACT Familial glomangiomatosis is a rare autosomal dominant vascular malformation caused by a mutation in the glomulin GLMN gene. It is characterized by the appearance of multiple glomus tumors composed of dysmature veins surrounded by glomus cells. We present a case of an 11-year-old girl with familial glomangiomatosis successfully treated with Nd:YAG long-pulse laser. Three sessions of laser treatment were performed, resulting in more than 80% reduction of the lesion and complete disappearance of pain, with no adverse effects reported. This case report demonstrates the excellent risk-benefit ratio of Nd:YAG long-pulse laser in the treatment of familial glomangiomatosis.
