Shailajah Kamaleswaran and Anette Bygum – A Bluish Nodular Lesion: A Quiz A B luish N odular L esion : A C ommentary Diagnosis: Glomuvenous malformations The skin biopsy showed Glomuvenous malformation (GVM) and the gene-analyse confirmed mutation in glomulin-gene (GLMN). GVM is a benign and rare venous malformation, which can involve the skin, subcutis and seldom mucosa, but never gas- trointestinal tract (1, 2). Clinically GVMs are characterized by raised bluish purple vascular lesions with a cobblestone like appearance. Less frequent is the plaque-like type of GVM. GVM is often present at birth and increases in size slowly during childhood. Over the time new lesions can develop. The lesions may be painful on palpation, therefore elastic stocking is not recommended for GVMs (2). Histologically GVMs are characterized by mural glomus cells in dilated venous channels. GVM is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding glomulin. The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance. Treatment options are surgical excision and laser therapy (2, 3).
