RESUMEN
Glomus tumors are rare hamartomas that originate from the glomus body. These tumors can be divided into solitary and multiple, the latter also known as glomangioma. We report the case of two patients with a rare variety of glomangioma called congenital plaque-like glomangioma. It presents as numerous red to bluish compressible papules, that increase in size in proportion with the weight and height growth of the child. Diagnostic confirmation is with histopathology and the treatment is surgical.

An 8-year-old girl was seen in our outpatient clinic with a history of an angiomatous plaque on the chest since birth. She had complained of pain at the site of the lesion for 1 month. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemical analysis led to the diagnosis of glomangioma, a rare congenital plaquelike glomus tumor. We review the literature and discuss the clinical presentation and evolution of this rare entity.
