Glomus Tumor of the Musculotendinous Junction of the Rotator Cuff

Glomus tumour in the forearm: a case report and review of mri findings

“…Amillo had a case of a 3 cm lesion within vastus lateralis that had a central nonenhancing area on the presented image; however, this finding was not discussed (7). Yoshikawa performed a non-contrast MR, but the post-contrast CT demonstrated peripheral enhancement of the lesion (8). Yoshikawa also documented multiple small foci of calcifications within the lesion.…”

“…Glomus tumours are well described in the extremities, particularly in the sub-ungual region and MRI is well established as the investigation of choice (1). However, a significant proportion of glomus tumours are extra-digital, but the discussion of MRI findings of extradigital tumours is limited and restricted to case reports (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). We present a case of a solitary painful forearm lesion in an 81-year-old man, and review the English literature on extra-digital glomus tumours documenting MR imaging features.…”

A Rare Cause of Calf Pain: Extradigital Glomus Tumor: Case Report

“…Classical triad is present between 63% and 100% of patients according to different studies. 12,13 Localized pain and sensitivity could be diagnosed in 86% of cases but cold intolerance is present in only less than 2% of the cases. 12 Glomus tumors could be easily differentiated from hemanjiomas or melanomas by cold hypersensivity, extreme pain despite its small dimension and extreme sensitivity even to light touch.…”
