Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms that originate from the glomus bodies, an arteriovenous anastomosis with a specialized vascular structure. The most common site for these tumors is the subungal region of the fingers. Occasionally, glomus tumors are found in the middle ear, trachea, nasal cavities, stomach, and lungs. The occurrence in the parotid regions is very rare. While multiple glomus tumors in the whole body are thought to represent only 10% of all cases, instances of multiple tumors in the neck have not yet been reported in the literature. We report a case of double glomus tumors in the submandibular and parotid regions.
血管球瘤是起源于血管球的罕见肿瘤,血管球是一种具有特殊血管结构的动静脉吻合。这些肿瘤最常见的部位是手指的甲下区域。偶尔,血管球瘤也会出现在中耳、气管、鼻腔、胃和肺部。发生在腮腺区域的情况非常罕见。虽然全身多发性血管球瘤被认为仅占所有病例的 10%,但颈部多发性肿瘤的病例尚未见诸文献。我们报告一例发生于颌下和腮腺区的双发性血管球瘤。
