Overview
The predominant therapy for solitary glomus tumor is surgical resection. Patients with multiple glomus tumors are treated with sclerotherapy or laser therapy.
Medical Therapy
- The predominant therapy for solitary glomus tumor is surgical resection.[1]
- Multiple glomus tumors are numerous and poorly circumscribed, which makes surgical excision difficult.
- Multiple glomus tumors are treated with sclerotherapy or laser therapy:[2][3]
- Sclerotherapy includes using hypertonic saline or sodium tetradecyl sulfate.
- 23.4% NaCl can be injected intraluminally in 4 sessions over a 6-month period
- Can be used obliterate the majority of these tumors
- Laser therapy uses gases such as carbon dioxide or argon.
- Sclerotherapy includes using hypertonic saline or sodium tetradecyl sulfate.
