Glomus tumors may occur as solitary lesions, or rarely as multiple glomus tumors (MGT). Internal organ involvement in patients with MGT has been reported, but is rare. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported to be useful in evaluating patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome for nongastrointestinal internal organ involvement. Three patients with MGT were evaluated by MRI for both cutaneous and internal involvement. MRI, which is useful in evaluating other vascular lesions, is not useful in the evaluation of patients with multiple glomus tumors. With these results, patients with MGT can be spared the expense of MRI procedure.
血管球瘤可表现为孤立性病变，或罕见地表现为多发性血管球瘤（MGT）。已有报道MGT患者可出现内脏受累，但较为罕见。据报道，磁共振成像（MRI）有助于评估患有蓝色橡皮疱痣综合征的患者是否存在非胃肠道内脏受累情况。对3例MGT患者进行了MRI检查，以评估皮肤和内脏受累情况。MRI对评估其他血管病变有用，但对评估多发性血管球瘤患者并无帮助。基于这些结果，MGT患者可不必进行MRI检查，从而节省费用。
