ABSTRACT

Glomus tumours of the temporal bone occur in the region of the jugular bulb middle ear. They are rare, highly vascular, slow growing tumours and most are benign. Tumours that originate from the jugular bulb and extend to involve the middle ear are referred to as glomus jugular tumours. Those that are found in the middle ear around the otic ganglia in the tympanic plexus are known as Glomus tympanicum. Yhese tumours occur predominantly in women in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Because of the insidious onset of symptoms, these tumours often go unnoticed and there is often a significant delay in diagnosis. Morbidity in these cases is determined by their size and position. 1. To study the age/sex incidence of patients suffering from glomus tumours of the temporal bone. 2. To see various clinical presentations with which these tumours present and their variation according to the age and sex. Our study design was non-inter-ventional descriptive. This study was performed at CMH Rawalpindi and Multan from January 2000 to June 2002. We included ten patients of glomus tumours of the temporal bone in our study. 8 out of these were females and two were males. Though most of the patients belonged to middle age group yet few were also from the younger and older groups. All the patients underwent CT scan with and without contrast, MRI of the requisite site and carotid angiography. We found that these tumours were predominantly present in females, mostly in the middle age group. Individual symptoms were studied in detail and their presence was found to be directly proportional to the increasing age of patients. It is concluded that due to the slow growth of this tumour the diagnosis is often delayed until it is extensive. Therefore clinicians should be more vigilant about this rare disease and must keep it in their differentials

ABSTRACT

Los tumores glómicos son neoplasias benignas derivadas de anastomosis arteriovenosas cutáneas especializadas que sirven para regular la temperatura. Pueden ser solitarios o múltiples. El tumor glómico solitario es bastante común; aparece habitualmente en adultos jóvenes en forma de un nódulo rojo-azulado, característicamente asociado con dolor paroxístico y localización acral. La forma múltiple es rara, mostrando una edad de aparición precoz y herencia de tipo autosómica dominante. Histopatológicamente, los tumores glómicos muestran proporciones variables de células glómicas, vasos sanguíneos y músculo liso. De acuerdo a ésto, se clasifican como tumor glómico sólido, glomangioma y glomangiomioma, siendo el último de ellos el menos común. Los tumores glómicos múltiples son predominantemente glomangiomas. Presentamos un caso familiar de glomangiomioma múltiple

ABSTRACT

En el presente trabajo se describen tres diferentes variedades clínicas e histológicas de tumores glómicos solitarios, se revisa la literatura y actual clasificación. Comentamos un tumor glómico clásico de muslo posterior, un glomangioma de antebrazo derecho con neuralgias asociadas y un glomangiomioma doloroso localizado en el codo. Estas entidades se han reconocido como alteraciones del desarrollo mesodérmico con rasgos hamartomatosos surgidas de una diferenciación vascular especializada

ABSTRACT

Os autores estudaram nove pacientes com diagnóstico de tumor glômico, no período de outubro de 1994 a maio de 1999. Todos foram confirmados com exame anatomopatológico; oito localizavam-se no quirodáctilo em sua extremidade distal (88,9 por cento) e apenas um no hálux (11,1 por cento). Houve predomínio de localização subungueal (77,8 por cento), acometendo mais mulheres na proporção de 2:1. Realizou-se revisão da literatura destacando o histórico, os métodos diagnósticos e de tratamento para esse tumor. Os autores concluem que a casuística encontrada no trabalho está condizente com a literatura. A exérese do tumor mostrou-se eficaz e os resultados foram plenamente satisfatórios, não havendo complicações pós-operatórias significativas nem recidivas até o momento.

ABSTRACT

El tumor glómico es una neoplasia benigna, poco frecuete, que e deriva de shunts arteriovenosos especializados, descubriéndose casos de malignidad cuando se localizan en el estómago o el duodeno. Se revisaron la historias clínicas de los pacietes (5) con tumor glómico, confirmados por biopsia entre los años 1981-1991 en el Hospital Militar "Dr. Carlos Arvelo", correlacionandose desde el punto de vista clínico-patológico, revisando además la bibliografía correspondiente
