Extradigital Glomus

Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that arise from neuromyoarterial glomus bodies. They represent around 1–5% of all soft-tissue tumors. High temperature, sensitivity, and pain and localized tenderness are the classical triad of symptoms. Most glomus tumors represent in the subungual area of digits. Extradigital glomus tumors are a very rare entity. There are rare cases of these tumors reported to be in shoulder, elbow, knee, wrist, even stomach, colon, and larynx. We are reporting a case of a glomus tumor on thigh and discuss the histological and immunohistochemical features.

Glomus Body

Glomus tumors are neoplasms arising from the glomus body, which regulate skin temperature. They are mostly benign tumors and present in the subungual area of a distal phalanx. However, they can occur in extradigital location, and they may not be typical of intradigital glomus tumors. This makes it difficult to diagnose extradigital glomus tumors. We report a volar extradigital tumor mimicking a painful ganglion with a literature review.

<p class="abstract">Glomus tumors are rare tumors, and mostly occur in the fingertips and/ or subungual location. Multiple extradigital glomus tumors are extremely rare. We hereby described a rare case of multiple extradigital glomus tumor of the ankle and foot in a 11 year old girl with hypoplasia of the affected limb. The patient presented with swellings over her right ankle and foot for the past 5 years. The swellings were initially painless but became painful for the past 15 months. On examination, patient’s right leg and foot appeared to be smaller when compared to the left side. There were multiple vague swellings over the dorsum of right food and lateral aspect of right ankle, which were very tender to touch. There was no overlying skin changes observed. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple well defined, encapsulated lesions of varying sizes at the level of distal third right fibula and foot. The lesions appeared isointense to muscle in T1-weighted image, hyperintense in T2-weighted image with enhancement post-contrast. Excision biopsy of the right lateral distal leg swelling was performed. Histopathological examination of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of glomus tumor. In view of her parents were not keen for any further surgical intervention, the patient will be evaluated regularly, and any enlarging painful lesions will be excised as required. The clinical diagnosis of multiple extradigital glomus tumors is much more problematic due to its rarity. The physicians must be aware of this differential diagnosis so that early diagnosis and treatment could be administered to the patients.</p>
