| Glomectomy | |
|---|---|
| ICD-9-CM | 39.8 |
A glomectomy is an excision of a glomus body or a glomus cell, usually in the case of a glomus tumor. This operation was formerly performed for the treatment of severe, chronic asthma,[1] but has since been abandoned for this purpose due to its lack of efficacy.[2][3]
