ResumoSUMMARY Glomangiomas are characterized by cavernous vascular channels surrounded by glomus cells. Multiple glomangiomas, although usually painless, can be a few centimetres in size and appear as blue phlebectatic lesions. Surgical excision of multiple glomangiomas can lead to scarring and recurrences. Laser treatment using vascular lasers and CO 2 lasers has been useful in small, superficial lesions. We present the successful sclerotherapy treatment of multiple glomangiomas using sodium tetradecyl sulphate in a 59‐year‐old man who presented with postoperative recurrence of multiple lesions.
