Overview
Glomus body was first discovered by Wood, a scotish surgeon, in 1812 in the Edinburgh Medical Journal. However, Glomus tumor was first correctly described in 1924 by Barre and Masson.
Historical Perspective
Glomus tumor was first described by Wood, a scotish surgeon, in 1812 in the Edinburgh Medical Journal.[1][2]
- 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.
