Unusual Location of Glomus Tumors

Abstract

Glomus tumors are rare, benign lesions that arise from glomus bodies present in the stratum reticularis throughout the body, but they are highly concentrated in the tips of the digits, especially under the nail. Although glomus tumors are benign lesions, they can cause disabling symptoms, therefore early diagnosis and treatment is important. We report an exceptional case of glomangioma of the calf.
