Furthermore, glomus cells are highly responsive to angiotensin II through AT1 receptors, providing information about the body's fluid and electrolyte status.

As stated above, these lesions should not be confused with paragangliomas, which were formerly also called glomus tumors in now-antiquated clinical usage.
33.
Clusters of glomus cells, of which the carotid bodies and aortic bodies are the most important, are called non-chromaffin or parasympathetic paraganglia.

Another report of a malignant glomus tumor with metastases is that of Watanabe et al ., who reported a cutaneous malignant glomus tumor with widespread metastases.

This feat is made possible by their dependence on symbiotic partnership with AM fungi of the genus Glomus, which supply most fixed carbon for growth and reproduction.
37.
Brathwaite et al . in 1996 reported widespread metastases of a malignant glomus tumor involving the skin, lungs, jejunum, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.
38.
In one report, a patient with more than 400 glomus tumors had thrombocytopenia as a result of platelet sequestration ( i . e ., Kasabach-Merritt syndrome ).
39.
Many non-accredited programs do not emphasize surgery of the lateral skull base, but many do offer training in acoustic neuromas, glomus jugulare and other skull base surgeries.

Glomus cells are very similar structurally to neurons, and they are indeed derived from the neural crest, while the glomus cells of type II are similar in function to neuroglia.
