Abstract
BACKGROUND: Multiple glomangiomas are a rare clinical occurrence. In the past, various treatments have been proposed for eradication of these tumours. OBJECTIVE: An alternative and effective therapy for multiple glomangioma is proposed. RESULTS: The effective clinical response of multiple, painful, bluish-black lesions on the soles of the feet and the hands, diagnosed as multiple glomangioma, to flashlamp tuneable dye laser is reported. CONCLUSION: The flashlamp tuneable dye laser is an effective modality in the treatment of multiple glomangioma.
