“…It is usually a small neoplasm that not exceeding 1 cm in diameter and located most commonly in the subungual region of the fingers in the distal extremities. It may also occur at the skin, subcutaneous fat and rarely in visceral organs [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16].…”

BACKGROUND: Glomus tumors are rare neoplasms accounting for less than 2% of all soft tissue tumors but multiple lesions may be seen in up to 10% of the patients. Solitary glomus tumor (GT) most frequently appears as small nodule in specific locations such as subungual region or deep dermis. However, rarely these entities have been observed in extracutaneous locations such as the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory tracts, and other visceral organs. A small fraction of the GTs may present as tumors of uncertain malignant potential or as malignant glomus tumors. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a patient with multiple glomus tumors on the time of diagnosis, which was histologically diagnosed as an atypical glomus tumor following resection of a tumor thrombus in the left renal vein, inferior vena cava trombus with intracardial extension, and mitral valve specimen. The intramuscular lesion from the thigh was diagnosed as a glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential. Further examinations revealed multiple lesions trough her body: kidneys, breast, heart and subcutaneous tissue. The diagnosis of glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential versus glomus tumor with low malignant potential could be quite challenging, and the clinical course may be as a determining factor for final diagnosis. CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the only known case of glomus tumor with multiple organ involvement and aggressive biological behavior at presentation.

“…Les TG des extrémités de l'enfant sont encore plus rares et sont souvent citées à titre de cas cliniques dans la littérature [7,8]. Upton et Coombs [9] ne retrouvaient que neuf TG sur 516 tumeurs vasculaires du membre supérieur de l'enfant, tumeurs vasculaires qui ne représenteraient que dix pour cent de ces tumeurs.…”

“…Upton et Coombs [9] ne retrouvaient que neuf TG sur 516 tumeurs vasculaires du membre supérieur de l'enfant, tumeurs vasculaires qui ne représenteraient que dix pour cent de ces tumeurs. La localisation aux orteils semble encore plus rare chez l'enfant [7], ainsi que chez l'adulte [8], avec également un retard diagnostique fréquent. La symptomatologie est douloureuse mais la classique triade : douleur, sensibilité au froid et hypersensibilité localisée n'est pas toujours présente.…”
