Laser Therapy for an Acquired Glomuvenous Malformation (Glomus Tumour)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs) (previously known as glomus tumours) are uncommon, benign, vascular neoplasms. Current treatments include surgical excision and sclerotherapy, often with high recurrence rates and poor cosmetic results. OBJECTIVE: We sought to use a nonsurgical approach for treatment of a GVM. METHODS: We present a patient with an acquired, biopsy-proven GVM of the heel unamenable to surgical excision, treated with a long pulsed 1064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. RESULTS: Excellent cosmesis and long-term remission were achieved after several treatment sessions. CONCLUSION: Our experience provides further evidence to support the safety and effectiveness of the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser in the management of large and surgically challenging GVMs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
