“…Despite the symptomatology, the size of the lesion is usually small, less than or equal to 1 cm 18 (9 mm is mean in our series), although giant cases (up to 12 cm) with compression of the adjacent structures have been reported. 1,21,23 Lesion size usually correlates with the time intervening between symptoms and diagnosis.…”

We retrospectively collected cases of surgically proven extradigital glomus tumor (EDGT) and reviewed their demographic, clinical, and sonography features. A total of 18 single, subcutaneous EDGTs were gathered. All but one were located in the extremities. EDGTs typically appear as a small, hypoechoic, homogeneous, or slightly inhomogeneous, well-delimited nodule, disposed horizontally and painful under probe pressure. Intranodular vascularization is always present. Feeding artery and efferent vein are typical but inconstant findings.

“…For subungual tumors, this can lead to secondary nail plate destruction as seen in cases # 2 and #3. In other localizations chronic pain syndromes may develop (13,14). We observed chronic plantar heel pain as an uncommon presentation of a solitary glomus tumor in a 59-year-old female.…”

Background. Glomus tumors are rare and mostly benign lesions of the subcutaneous tissue. Single lesions are preferably located on the acral parts of the body, including the subungual nail apparatus. Observations. We analyzed our files for glomus tumors of the last 10 years and found four tumors, with an equal gender distribution. The patients' age ranged from 41 to 78 years. The dominant site was subungual on fingers. Advanced and long-standing tumors tend to destroy the overlying nail plate. Another tumor was found on the plantar heel. All patients had a delayed diagnosis between ¾ of a year to three years. Nail plate dermoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosis of early subungual lesions. All tumors were successfully treated surgically with rapid and complete pain relief. Histologically, all four tumors were of the glomangioma subtype with predominant vascular structure. No relapse occurred within a follow-up of up to nine years. Conclusions. Glomus tumors are rare. In case of subungual localization, nail plate dermoscopy is a useful non-invasive diagnostic tool. The treatment of choice is complete tumor removal by surgery. A better knowledge of this tumor will help to reduce the time to final diagnosis and treatment.

“…GTs have also been reported to occur at unusual locations, such as the nose, sinuses, thoracic region, kidneys, stomach, mediastinum, heart, intestines, muscles, vagina, tendons, ligaments and lungs. Tracheal glomus tumors (TGTs) are fairly rare (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

Glomus tumors (GTs) of the trachea are very rare neoplasms that usually arise from the distal portion of the respiratory tree. The origin of these tumors is modified smooth muscle cells of glomus bodies. In this study, we describe two cases of GT of the trachea, as well as the histologic features of these tumors and their treatments. One tumor was diagnosed via bronchoscopic biopsy, and the other tumor was diagnosed via surgery. Clinical follow-up showed that the two patients are alive and well after 8 and 15 months post-treatment, respectively. We also review the literature regarding GTs and discuss the clinical presentation, histologic features, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of these tumors.
