Giant thigh glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential: Case report with pathologic–radiologic correlation

Introduction Glomus tumors (GT) are rare, benign tumors that arise from glomus bodies and usually develop in digital areas. Extradigital GT are exceptional and thigh location is infrequent. Case Report We report a case of a GT of the thigh in a 79‐year‐old male patient that measured 9.5 cm in maximum size. The GT lay above the muscular fascia without infiltrating it. Internal hypervascularity was seen by spectral Doppler ultrasound. Magnetic resonance image showed a heterogeneous mass with hyperintense and hypointense components and internal lobes with liquid–liquid levels. Histopathology revealed a monotonous round‐cell proliferation with central nuclei without atypia or mitotic figures, around small‐caliber vessels. These cells expressed smooth muscle actin and pericellular collagen IV. GT of uncertain malignant potential was diagnosed. The mass was completely removed. The patient did not experience local relapse nor distant metastasis. Conclusion GT are rare soft tissue tumors whose diagnosis of unusual giant masses in uncommon locations may be delayed and misdiagnosed given the low suspicion.

Background: Glomus tumors are rare benign tumors that were first described in 1812 by Wood. They arise from normal glomus apparatus, usually located in the reticular dermis of the body. Although glomus tumors are universal in occurrence, the sub-Saharan Africa experience has not been well documented. Methods: The authors performed a systematic literature review of eligible studies between 1960 and August 2023, using the terms “glomus,” “tumor,” “glomangioma,” “glomangiomyoma,” and “Africa.” We also performed a search of the AIC Kijabe Hospital pathology department database of about 140,000 records, covering 30 years, for the terms “glomus tumor,” “glomangioma” and “glomangiomyoma.” Results: The systematic literature search and institutional database search produced a total of 74 patients who had glomus tumors. These patients had a lag of between 3 months and 20 years from symptom development to definitive treatment. Conclusions: There are very few reports of glomus tumors from sub-Saharan Africa in the current literature: the authors’ histopathology database of 140,000 specimens had 46 glomus tumors (0.03%), and only 28 additional patients were found in literature from sub-Saharan Africa. The low numbers of African patients may indicate racial differences in the occurrence of glomus tumors, although this may also be due to failure of clinicians to recognize glomus tumors. The prolonged lag period between symptom development and definitive treatment for glomus tumors indicates the need for diligence in the diagnosis and treatment of a simple problem that is otherwise the cause of incapacitating pain and misery.
