X linked ichthyosis

Abstract

We report herein a case of multiple glomus tumors on the scrotum in a 14-year-old boy. The lesions were present at birth and had gradually increased in size and number. Pea to thumb tip sized, dark colored nodules without pain sensation were confined to the scrotum. Histopathologically, there were many dilated and irregular vascular spaces lined by a single layer of flattened endothelial cells in the dermis. In the periphery of the endothelial cells, there are a few layers of glomus cells. No capsule was seen. Total excision of the tumors was performed. No recurrence was observed for an year after surgical excision.
