En blåröd, synnerligen smärtsam, kärlrik tumör, inneslutande en nystformad, arteriovenös anastomos, som kan uppträda varsomhelst i huden, oftast längst ut på fingrarna eller tårna, under naglarna. Den består av specialiserade pericyter, vanligtvis som inkapslade, knöliga massor, med en diameter på flera millimeter. Även kemodektom kallas ibland nysttumörer.
A blue-red, extremely painful vascular neoplasm involving a glomeriform arteriovenous anastomosis (glomus body), which may be found anywhere in the skin, most often in the distal portion of the fingers and toes, especially beneath the nail. It is composed of specialized pericytes (sometimes termed glomus cells), usually in single encapsulated nodular masses which may be several millimeters in diameter (From Stedman, 27th ed). CHEMODECTOMA, a tumor of NEURAL CREST origin, is also sometimes called a glomus tumor.
