Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Summary</title> <p>Glomovenous malformations are disseminated variants of cutaneous glomus tumors. These malformations are subdivided into regional or localized, disseminated, and congenital plaque‐like forms. The congenital plaque‐like form is the rarest variant. Most treatment modalities have been disappointing in the treatment of large glomangiomas, leading to high recurrence rates. We report a case of a 34‐year‐old man with a congenital plaque‐like glomangioma on his left arm and forearm treated successfully with sequential pulsed‐dye neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet laser.</p> </abstract>
