Extradigital Glomus Tumour in Scapular Region

Abstract

A 76-year-old male patient had presented with history of backache for the last 15 years with features of pain even with mild touch (such as while wearing shirt). He had this complaint more than 15 years back and was operated twice; at tertiary care hospital on one occasion and secondary care hospital on another occasion at one-year interval. He later had persistent pain similar in character to what he had before surgery and used to take OTC analgesics occasionally for pain relief and had considered it 'incurable and his fate.' The treatment details were not available with the patient and could not be traced. On examination, there was an oblique linear surgical scar over inferior angle of right scapula, around 3 cm in length with faint reddish macule present over inferior and lateral aspect (at distal end of scar), which was tender and hypersensitive to touch and cold. Rest of the scar was nontender. The surrounding skin appeared normal with no induration or collection. He had no other site with similar hypersensitive lesion. Examination of Spine, Shoulder and Scapula were within normal limits.
