Ultrasonographic Characteristics in the Fingers and Other Superficial Glomus Tumours

Figure 5

High echo surrounding a glomus tumour that developed on the abdominal wall: (a) ultrasound image of the tumour. The image showed high echo with indistinct boundaries around the tumour in the subcutaneous fat layer (arrowheads), (b) histopathological tissue (magnified image) revealed a nodule with clear margins, which were observed within the adipose tissue, and densely packed cubic tumour cells enlarged to an oval shape proliferated in a cobblestone-like pattern, and (c) enlarged image of the tumour (areas surrounding the tumour) showed that small diffuse vessels were observed within the adipose tissue of areas surrounding the nodule.
