Overview
Glomus body was first discovered by Hoyer, a polish anatomist, in 1877. Glomus tumor was first described in 1924 by Barre and Masson.
Historical Perspective
- Glomus tumor was first described by Wood in the Edinburgh Medical Journal of 1812.
- However, Wood described it as a small, bluish, benign, subcutaneous nodule associated with severe paroxysmal pain and tenderness.
- He called this lesion a “painful subcutaneous tubercle.”
- In 1878, Kolaczek described the subungual location of a painful tubercle, which he believed to be a variant of angiosarcoma.
- Glomus tumor was first correctly described by Barre and Masson in 1924.[1][2]
- They correctly interpreted the pathologic anatomy of the painful tubercle.
- Barre and Masson called it a glomus tumor because of its relationship to the normal neuromyoarterial glomus.
