We report a case of glomuvenous malformation (GVM) in an 11‐year‐old boy with a history of transposition of the great vessels. The glomulin gene was discovered in 1999, and multiple mutations have been identified with some of the mutations resulting in GVM. The molecular genetics, clinical presentation, histopathology, differential diagnosis, and management of GVM are reviewed. To our knowledge, no case of glomuvenous malformation in the setting of transposition of the great vessels has ever been reported in the literature.
