Rahul D Gulati et al. Laryngoscope. 2024 Jun.

Abstract

Glomangiomas of the external ear are exceptionally rare. These tumors are a type of glomus tumor, which are soft tissue neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that result from undifferentiated smooth muscle. In this report, we describe a case of an ear lobule glomangioma that was treated with surgical excision. Laryngoscope, 134:2771-2773, 2024.

Keywords: auricle; external ear; glomangioma; glomus tumor; glomuvenous malformation.
